1. They do have RPMs for gtkmm 2.2. They might be in fedora.us rather
than fedora.redhat.com, but that's how Fedora works at the moment.
2. If you don't ask them, then they'll never know that you want them.
Why must I ask them on your behalf?

What happends when you follow the instructions? As far as I know, FC2 is
just an update for FC1. I don't think anything works fundamentally
differently. Or are they incompatible?

Get Fedora RPMs from Fedora, not from freshrpms. 3rd-party RPMs will
give you problems.
