  of the above libs, the first three are already installed, and the
last, simple-mtpfs, does not show up in a "yum search". remember, i'm
running rawhide so perhaps that package has been removed.

  the other package that looks relevant, gvfs-mtp, is already
installed, so i'll check out the thread you mention above a bit later
this morning to see what other choices i have.
