Why isn't the default > gnome session dbus enabled ? I didn't check in xscreensaver-gnome, but I doubt that it requires dbus. It's gnome-screensaver if you are talking about, which is not part of GNOME release. As for enable default, see below. > Together with that I also discovered, that gnome can make use of FAM, > which also isn't enabled by default... It is expected and it's why it's in our FAQ. We should never enable the daemon by default. I am hoping that we will change from FAM to gamin by default, but we have to talk with KDE and other apps (that need FAM) maintainers to see if they will agree with us and if those apps can run with gamin with no problem.
