control-center has a dependency on libgnome-2.so.0, provided by libgnome.

libgnome has a dependency on fedora-gnome-theme.

fedora-gnome-theme has a dependency on fedora-icon-theme.

fedora-icon-theme has a dependency on gnome-themes.

gnome-themes has a dependency on gtk2-engines.

gtk2-engines includes a .pc file with "Requires: gtk+-2.0".

Result: list of dependencies as above.
