Hi Markus!

Yes, just rebuild it! I've got it working on F18, so I don't expect any 
issues in F19. Here's a quick guide I put together for those not yet 
experienced: 
https://www.zabbix.org/wiki/Docs/howto/rebuild_rpms#Pre-requisites

Just follow the "Pre-requisites" and run:

mock -r my_fedora_version_config --rebuild my_source_rpm.src.rpm

I'd be glad if you could give Grass 6.4.3 a spin too. I think I haven't 
switched to the new desktop file yet; that's one of the tickets open. It 
was more of an emergency update. It definitely needs more work.

Greetings,

Volker
