+In fact, I have just tested what you said on a basesystem-minimal.
+
+1) install libgtk+2.0-devel
+
+2) try the most basic gtk windows from "gtk-demo"
+
+It is full of oxygen-gtk as expected, but without font :)
+
+So, it looks like a Requires basic fonts is missing (gnu-free-* do the 
+jobs).
+
+
+3) rpm -e --nodeps oxygen-gtk
+
+(and rpm -e liboxygen-gtk)
+
+try again gtk-demo, it works perfectly fine with simple widgets, which 
+by the way are very fast.
+
+
+SO, I am reiterating my statement that oxygen-gtk should *not* be a 
+Requires :) Why not simply do a Suggests?
+
+I am concerned about this because already on my 4 years old machine, the 
+oxygen-gtk menu are slightly slower than the basic gtk. So I am pretty 
+sure people with old machines won't be happy to have nice rounded blue 
+slow menus.
+
+What do you think?
