In fact, I have just tested what you said on a basesystem-minimal.

1) install libgtk+2.0-devel

2) try the most basic gtk windows from "gtk-demo"

It is full of oxygen-gtk as expected, but without font :)

So, it looks like a Requires basic fonts is missing (gnu-free-* do the 
jobs).


3) rpm -e --nodeps oxygen-gtk

(and rpm -e liboxygen-gtk)

try again gtk-demo, it works perfectly fine with simple widgets, which 
by the way are very fast.


SO, I am reiterating my statement that oxygen-gtk should *not* be a 
Requires :) Why not simply do a Suggests?

I am concerned about this because already on my 4 years old machine, the 
oxygen-gtk menu are slightly slower than the basic gtk. So I am pretty 
sure people with old machines won't be happy to have nice rounded blue 
slow menus.

What do you think?
