What breaks? The %files section? In that case, why does the %files
section contain an entry for a monodevelop.desktop file? It only expects
files you specified.
If you only want to package %{_datadir}/applications/fedora-*.desktop
don't include a %files entry for a different .desktop file.
Also note that --delete-original on %{SOURCE1} is a DON'T.
%{SOURCE1} is the input file (= the "original"), and you never
want the spec to delete it.

This indicates that make install created this file. Examine its
contents, then use:
desktop-file-install --vendor fedora \
--dir %{buildroot}%{_datadir}/applications \
--add-category X-Fedora \
--delete-original \
%{buildroot}%{_datadir}/applications/monodevelop.desktop
instead.
