the whole gnome stack should not depend on metacity

Hello,

As the subject says, the whole gnome sack depend on metacity which is,
in my opinion, wrong. This happens through nodoka-metacity-theme which
depends on metacity, and then fedora-gnome-theme depends on
nodoka-metacity-theme and libgnome depends on fedora-gnome-theme. 
Installing a gnome app should not lead to installing a window manager.

Could this be fixed a way or another?
There is a bug here, but it looks like the nodoka-metacity-theme
packager thinks that his package is only useful with metacity.

The chain could also be broken higher, but please fix it, it has already
been reported some time ago.
