Something has gone real rotten in debian.
Since it's all because of GNOME . Please file a bug in GNOME Bugzilla . http://bugzilla.gnome.org/
It's not a bug. Infact i would say it's working exactly as certain vested interests intended it to.
I find it ironic that you want to use GNOME and then are complaining about bloat :D
Umm. No i dont use Gnome most of the time. It's KDE.... And it's not about me. I can wind my way thru - including rolling my own distro if needed. It's about the stupidity of exposing a whole swath of users to potential patent liability. The only users who would be protected are ones who have distros with patent protection clauses signed up with M$- Novell, Lindows and RH?. We know that codevelopment deal was partly about virtualisation. But that's what they told us.
