For these you'll need to install the glib and gtk3 devel packages. I'm
not on my Fedora system right now, so I'm not sure what they're called
exactly.

Here you'll need to build and install the latest gcr library. This
contains a lot of the widget and functionality used in seahorse.

jhbuild allows you to build this stuff without overriding what's on your
system which is much safer.

A simple 'jhbuild build seahorse' would do the trick.
