I'm looking at this in detail... freqtweak requires the following two
packages to satisfy its dependencies (for wxGTK2):

compat-wxGTK-common.i386 2.4.2-21.fc6
compat-wxGTK2.i386       2.4.2-21.fc6

Both part of the original released set of packages, you can see them
here:

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/7/Everything/i386/os/Fedora/compat-wxGTK-2.4.2-21.fc6.i386.rpm

Do you have the original fc7 distro in your yum repository list? What
happens if you try to explicitly install "compat-wxGTK2"?
