Comment (by ken@…):
For firefox and libnotify : I do not normally build libnotify, but I've
got it on this 7.8 system. I can confirm that nothing in firefox links
directly to it. I can also confirm that the speculative webapp.cpp
attempts to dlopen libnotify.so.{4,1} are in webapprt-stub in the /usr/lib
/firefox-VVV directory. That is from a DESTDIR build, I do not like, nor
use, notifications and I have no idea what I might do in my normal
activities which would create a notification : putting it in webapprt-stub
suggests it might only be used in limited circumstances. But, the
--disable-libnotify build (I did that first, as a normal install, to check
it works with current deps), has the same strings in webapprt-stub.
So, for the moment, on firefox I think the optional dependency is valid as
a runtime dependency, but the mozconfig entry is redundant.
If you can prove it is broken, then feel free to revisit the firefox part
of this. For the moment, firefox is fixed in r16533.
