Indeed, but a version supplied does not really work with a pango
font selection.  It is true that this is the last "official release"
but this was fixed quite a while ago in cvs and that code is no
worse in stability that release.  See

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=120570

for details and an "updating patch".

Sawfish, and quite possibly other window managers as well, is
also adversly affected by a bug in libwnck.  Check

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=120652

for that.  That one "closed, fixed upstream" but fixes did not
percolate to FC2 level so far AFAICS.
