I have had another problem with F14 that you may be interested in as it
appears to effect libchamplain

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=649134

I've had to go back to F13 for now.

This is because the GObject Introspection ABI changed after the freeze.  This is the price of playing on the cutting edge.  I suggest running rawhide in a virtual host or using jhbuild to build a buildroot.  We are committed to stabilizing introspection in the next 5 months (well we freeze in 2 to 3 months).   Until then there is going to be pain like this.
