Hi Stefano,
i 've found another conflict file with gnome-python2 :(
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/gtk-2.0/wnck.so
My package mate-python2-libwnck-1.1.0-2.fc16.x86_64 and gnome-python2-libwnck-2.32.0-5.fc16.x86_64 provide this file.
In a standard fedora installation gnome-python2-libwnck is a dependency of ocra.
But for a correct working mintnenu i need mate-deskbar-applet which has mate-python2-libwnck as a dependency.
Or is this a nonsens dependency?

I already use --datadir=/usr/share/mate-defs configure flag to build mate-python and mate-python-desktop to avoid conflicts with gnome-python2, but this conflict i can't solve in the rpmbuild process.
In my eyes the conflicting files have to be renamed.
This is a serious problem, a lot's of mate packages need a correct working python section.

I'm really wondering that this python issues only occurs in fedora at the moment.
