as i wrote before, for fc4t1 just use the development-repository. it is shipped with and enabled as the only repo in
/etc/yum.repos.d/

all the mirrors contain the same packages, at the moment the development-repo contains the whole bunch of fc4. if you
want to install some more software you don't find in there, search in the extras. create in /etc/yum.repos.d/something
like extras.repo which contains:

[extras]
name=Fedora EXTRAS $releasever - $basearch - Base
baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/$releasever/$basearch/
enabled=0
gpgcheck=1

as it is enabled=0 (like all other repos in /etc/yum.repos.d/ except development) you will have to yum --enablerepo
install package, otherwise yum won't read the other repos.

This has nothing to do with the depencies of libwnck and gnome-pilot etc.
