This was caused by the cleanups to rpmsrate, which should now have been reverted. But xvt should really be updated to know about and use mate-terminal. It only worked before because Eterm was getting installed.

Thanks for the explanations Martin; I think it's the same bug as bug 20522 so let's just keep one. This should be fixed in desktop-common-data.
