Sorry, I assumed that you've built rpms from source rpms before. There
really is nothing to it. Just execute:
$ rpmbuild --rebuild <the source rpm>
This should build the binary rpm. In fact if it fails for any reason,
that's a bug and you should report it (either in the BZ, or just mail
me).

I totally understand, and that's why i qualified with -- '...and you
are inclined,". If you do decide to try your hand at it, this should
get you going ...

Rakesh pointed out that XPaint is available in ATRPMs [1]. Is it an
option for you to enable ATRPMs till we get it into Fedora proper,
assuming that there are no hitherto unseen hurdles?
