Unless one is running KDE (whatever they call it these days), akonadi/nepomuk are not an issue. colord is billed as a means to manage color profiles--it is not installed on my Sid box although libcolord2 is installed to satisfy a dependency by libgtk-3-0. avahi implements a server for mdns, AIUI, and is needed by Pulse Audio to move sound over the network, for one example. > So I have a weird question for discussion, to study the *design* of dbus > together on this mailinglist with you lot who are probably a lot smarter > than me. > > Please be gentle and provide arguments if you think I'm talking crap :-) > > ============================ > Why is there 1 dbus program (instead of 2 or 3)? > ============================ Most likely because it has mostly been restrained to its problem domain and no one has been troubled enough by it to reimplement a replacement.
