Hy,
I just wanted to add my two cents.

This makes sense actually, since it is possible to use different Aurora
Monitor packages with Aurora.

Wouldn't it be better to create a real stand alone shell and make glibc
depend on this?

This just doesn't make any sense.

chkconfig shouldn't depend on msec but use it if available.

same here. control-center shouldn't require mandrake_desk

same as esound. Just unnecessary to splitt these packages.
