This is an ongoing issue with f-spot, I had tracked down a number of
these issues previously and with some help from the Debian maintainer
had patched them to use system libraries, but perhaps f-spot has gone
and done it again.  See:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=442343

Although I did notice that the configure script does check for the
presence of gnome-desktop-sharp, the absence of which was causing the
builds to originally fail.  The question is if it tries to detect it,
why doesn't it use it?
