I haven't worked that whys and wherefores, but perhaps files generated by installing a RPM, rather than extracted from a RPM, don't count? To find what package provided a particular file, there's "rpm -qf". e.g. rpm -qf /full/path/to/the/file/you/want/to/know/about Does that query format give you an answer? -- (This computer runs FC7, my others run FC4, FC5 & FC6, all using Gnome in case that's important to the thread.)
