Well it looks like I already *have* the newer version of gnome-python2-canvas
installed already. Also, why is up2date (apparently) doing rpm -ivh,
instead of *Uvh*? These are after just updating and a reboot:
# rpm -qa | grep gnome-python
gnome-python2-gtkhtml2-2.0.0-1
gnome-python2-gtkhtml2-2.0.0-2
gnome-python2-canvas-2.0.0-1
gnome-python2-2.0.0-1
gnome-python2-bonobo-2.0.0-1
gnome-python2-bonobo-2.0.0-2
gnome-python2-canvas-2.0.0-2

Likewise, up2date refuses to install open-office 1.1.0-1.
NOTE: it doesn'e even *list* the current version on
my system (openoffice-i18n-1.0.2-4):

Test install failed because of package conflicts:
file /usr/lib/openoffice/program/libadabas2.so from install of 
openoffice.org-libs-1.1.0-1 conflicts with
file from package openoffice-libs-1.0.2-4
file /usr/lib/openoffice/program/libcached1.so from install of 
openoffice.org-libs-1.1.0-1 conflicts with
file from package openoffice-libs-1.0.2-4
.... and a lot more conflicts that run off the dialog and
screen...
