PackageKit gtk module warning

If you attempt to start any GTK2 app the following will be output to stdout:
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "pk-gtk-module"

Over the course of several Fedora releases there has been a back[1] and
forth[2] shift on dependencies on PackageKit-gtk{3}-module. Fedora 17
has removed PackageKit-gtk-module so now there is no easy work around.

The problem stems from
/usr/lib{64}/gnome-settings-daemon-3.0/gtk-modules/pk-gtk-module.desktop
declaring pk-gtk-module a loadable GTK module.

Could the PackageKit-gtk3-module package be updated to not have GTK2
apps looking for a non-existant module?
