For maybe a clue to why mono was pulled in, I ended up getting the mono 
related rpms when using pirut to update the GNOME desktop. The GNOME 
checkbox was not highlighted, so I tried the program to see what was 
missing in GNOME. Maybe this is an RPM where missing OK is acceptable.
No idea as to which rpm would cause this though.
