Michel, AFAICS you did not fix any of the issues I pointed out in comment #7:
- rpmlint is not clean
Not sure what you mean; it is clean here:
Please see comment # 7 or run rpmlint on the srpm: $ rpmlint Downloads/gnome-applet-window-picker-0.5.6-2.fc10.src.rpm gnome-applet-window-picker.src: W: mixed-use-of-spaces-and-tabs (spaces: line 1, tab: line 3) 1 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 1 warnings.

Not sure that is the correct reading. The guideline uses that versioned dependency as an example, and it actually recommended removing the version requirement, once the oldest supported Fedora release exceeds that requirement.
I read this different: Since non of the downsides apply to this package, a versioned dep should be used here. However...
In this case, since there is a SONAME dependency that will pull in the correct version of gnome-panel-libs, the correct version of gnome-panel would be pulled in as well (because of the same SONAME dependency between gnome-panel and libpanel-applet)
... I fully agree with you in this special case.
