Yes, some apps require wxGTK 2.6, while others require 2.4. I think I 
worked around it by not having two repo's enabled, one that required 
2.4, and the other that required 2.6.

rpm -e wxGTK will give errors saying what packages are relying on it. I then
yum --disablerepo=freshrpms --disablerepo=extras update
was able to get the core updates installed.
