Apologies for the delay. I wanted to create a Git clone of the
VirtualBox SVN repository to verify the change, but it seems that
right now the website and public SVN repository is down.

The changes look good, but - having not tested it yet or seen the full
.spec file after the change - you might need to add runtime
dependencies on more packages that provide /usr/share/icons/hicolor
and /usr/share/mime:

$ rpm -qf /usr/share/mime /usr/share/icons/hicolor | grep -v fedora
shared-mime-info-1.0-5.fc18.x86_64
hicolor-icon-theme-0.12-5.fc18.noarch

I'll try and send a patch as soon as I can finish the cloning process.

Thanks,
