Yes, it is, but the packages it depends-on are not that small. And please keep in mind that I'm not proposing to remove the dependence on startup-notification. I just want to make it optional, and enabled by default. Those who want to turn it off will have that choice. > What make you > think that startup-notification is a GNOME application?

I was referring to libgnomeui. -- My preferred quotation of Robert Louis Stevenson is "You cannot make an omelette without breaking eggs". Not because I like the omelettes, but because I like the sound of eggs being broken.
