Actually, right after I posted, I saw a Fedora-specific list of
packages on the kivy website. However, after I installed them
and reinstalled kivy I still got the same set of missing package
warning that I got before.
And hoping that the packages just enabled optional features I
tried running the simple "hello-world" program from their website.
It died horribly:

Unfortunately I have no idea what one should do. The standard response
in this group is that pip knows, hence I don't need to. I just wanted
to point out the fallacy of that.
