Hm, here it looks different: samba:~$ yum deplist grub Loading "installonlyn" plugin Finding dependencies: Excluding Packages in global exclude list Finished package: grub.x86_64 0.97-13 dependency: system-logos provider: fedora-logos.noarch 6.0.98-3.fc7 dependency: /sbin/install-info provider: info.x86_64 4.8-15 dependency: /bin/sh provider: bash.x86_64 3.2-9.fc7 dependency: mktemp provider: mktemp.x86_64 3:1.5-25.fc7 dependency: /usr/bin/cmp provider: diffutils.x86_64 2.8.1-16.fc7 I don't see gtk, but maybe yum isn't perfect.
Look closer: system-logos => fedora-logos => redhat-artwork => gtk2'n'friends!
