I had a look at conky, and actually it BuildRequires libXNVCtrl, which apparently is the -devel part of nvidia-settings (but created from the same spec file of course). So another possibility would be to change nvidia-settings' spec file to only create the libXNVCtrl package. I don't know what other packages need nvidia-settings and how it would be in those cases, though. And should I still file a bug report or is this not necessary any more?
