#3 patch to remove gnome, gnome.ui dependencies

[Steve Tyler]

When installing gnome-password-generator in Fedora 19, 13 dependent packages are pulled in. This patch attempts to prevent that by removing dependencies on the gnome and gnome.ui modules.

Hi Steve,

The patch looks good to me. I haven't actually looked at Gnome Password Generator for years. Would you be interested in becoming the project maintainer? I'm not sure how many people still use it but the project could use someone more active than me.

Thanks, Chris. The SF stats page[1] shows there is ongoing interest in Gnome Password Generator. Unfortunately, I won't be able to take it on.
