F12: weird dependenciy between xpaint and emacs

[Joachim Backes]

On my F12 box, both emacs and xpaint are installed.

When trying to uninstall emacs, I get:

sudo yum erase emacs
Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit

Removing:

Removing for dependencies:
  xpaint          i686          2.8.7.3-1.fc12          installed 
    1.6 M

Transaction Summary
================================================================================
Remove        2 Package(s)

But after having uninstalled emacs by "rpm -e emacs --nodeps", xpaint 
still runs properly. So, why that dependency?

Kind regards
