I have rebuilds of both libsoup and webkitgtk to not include these dependencies (webkitgtk goes without geoclue). Before I publish the repo URL/config for yum, I'd be interested to see how much interest it would be for me to maintain them and which release/arch combos to support. It's just patches on the .spec file from Fedora and a rebuild and P/O over the dependency chained one. As for a lightweight browser, I'd recommend uzbl[1] for those looking for slim applications. The default configuration/scripts assume zenity and pygtk which can be a little big, but Xdialog works just as well I've found. --Ben
