If you try to run redhat-config-date when pygtk2 and/or gnome-python2 is not installed, it says: redhat-config-date requires a currently running X server even when X is actually running. redhat-config-date (and other similar tools) should require pygtk2 and gnome-python2 (in the spec files) and/or give a better error message.
