Why that? Seth pointed out that yum will only fall back to shorter name
when all other criteria fail, and one of them was that both packages
have exactly the same Provides:

Just like Spot in the rel-eng ticket I ask: Why does a lib *require*
fedora-gnome-theme? Just because it's the default theme
in /etc/gconf/schemas/desktop_gnome_interface.schemas?

Thanks for this explanation, but what am I supposed to do now? All I can
offer is to remove xfce4-notifyd for now, but this is only a workaround
and not a solution.
