Yes, I have that too. I reported the problem to the original packager of
the FC2 RPMS, Vladimir Vukicevic.

$ rpm -ql red-carpet | grep .desktop
/usr/share/applications/red-carpet.desktop
/usr/share/applications/ximian-red-carpet.desktop

I'd love to see this in Fedora Extras, but I'm afraid that I am too
inexperienced either with building RPMs or with Python to offer to be
the maintainer.

If it does make it into Fedora Extras then it would also make sense to
think about setting up an Open Carpet server and mirrors, rather
slashdotting open-carpet.org. Also, for some reason the "Select a
mirror" preference is not in Edit -> Preferences in the version of Red
Carpet packaged by Vladimir (I suspect because he built it specifically
to work with his own FC2 service).

Best, Darren
