That seems ok. if it were packaged differently.

What is the requirement for GNOME, specifically for this pkg?
More importantly: Why lately do I see all sorts of things in Solaris
that have nothing to do with X11, Desktops, user interfaces, all
starting to rely on GNOME libraries and the other things they depend on?
Why isn't this seen as 'not a good thing'?
Are there parts of gnome that should be pulled out, and promoted to a
more system level?
With regard to Dbus... Why does it remind me of Tool Talk? and what was
wrong with Tool Talk?
Is DBus, and HAL a Sun/Solaris invention? or just a port/implementation
of something from somewhere else?
(I see references to freedesktop.org?)
I imagine that the rmvolmgr needs the Gconf libraries, given what I've
been reading. Granted I haven't read everything, but what I have read
mentions 'user' customizations. I don't see anything about the admin
customizing anything at the system level.
The user is now supposed to put their customizations into gconf as a
repository. I saw one comment that implied (unless I read it wrong) that
customizations that used to go in /etc/rmmount.conf (where the admin
would put them for the system, should also move to Gconf.... As far as I
know there isn't any 'system' level Gconf repository... Is there?
Closest thing I can think of are SMF properties - Why not use that?
This seems like things are being pulled from the linux/gnome world
verbatim with the home/hobbyist mentality that that includes (i.e. the
only user is the admin.) I hope I'm missing something here. :)
