If correct, this really needs to be raised upstream rather than here - if
these apps did end up using C# and this was a problem for us, there's no way 
I see Fedora having resources to maintain a fork without the C# bits, and 
dropping such core pieces of our desktop is not a particularly desirable
solution either.
