Comment(by cscott):

 Some files at fault:
  etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/%gconf-tree.xml (mtime fields generate lots
 of small diffs)
  etc/gtk-2.0/i386-redhat-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf.loaders (need to sort?)
  etc/gtk-2.0/i386-redhat-linux-gnu/gtk.immodules      (need to sort?)
  etc/pango/i386-redhat-linux-gnu/pango.modules        (simple sort?)
