For what it's worth, the Red Hat 7.0 and 6.X rpms are both created from
the same set of SRPMS.

Erm, oops.  :)  I can't think of any faster way than manually browsing
the spec files to see which ones I've forgotten a defattr line on.  Easy
task, if slightly boring.  If somebody decides that's a good place to
start out, let me know.  If you don't know how to do that, don't worry,
it's easy, I'll send you some info.

Well, these are, mostly, fixed.  I've added the OMF files to
control-center, glade, and gtop, and help to those three.  gnome-media
doesn't appear to ship with any help files.  :-/
I'll look at the rest of these bugs as time permits.  Later,
