Thanks ... that did indeed get me over one hurdle,
but only to bring me down over gtk+ 
===================================
checking for gtk+-2.0... Package gtk+-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config 
search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtk+-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'gtk+-2.0' found
===================================

Unfortunately, gtk+-2. is not available in any Fedora repository
that I looked at, even development/rawhide.
I found one with rpmfind, but when I tried to install it
I got a vast number of unfilled dependencies.

Sadly, I shall have to put NetworkManager aside,
until a nicely packaged version that works within Fedora comes along.
