Package: emacs23
Version: 23.1+1-6
Now emacs provides gtk gui by default, but the last update brings also dbus
and gconf dependencies. This should not be the default options for gui
package. Reasons:
1. Problems with network transparency. X is network oriented, and used
commonly used through networks. D-bus is local only, and gconf,
as far as I know, requires additional setup to run across network.
2. There is a little profit form such integration. No really new
possibilities are provided.
3. gconf and dbus are not the part of gui, so many users' environments
lack them completely. the fact is, they are not useful without heavy DE's.
So, please, provide pure gtk package.
