So a bodge that DOES work, is to install 1.1.3 using yum, and THEN edit the
Exec field of the darktable.desktop file that is installed. This is
annoying in that I now have two versions of darktable installed, one of
which I will never use. And then there is the maintenance problem when an
update comes along.
Still, it will do me for now.
