I _think_ it can be built without gnome-3, but since gnome-shell now *requires* NM it makes sense for gnome distros to build it against all the gnome deps. I was going to say that I *had* built it without gnome-3 on my other box, but since that has a shedload of gnome-3 packages (I wanted epiphany, yelp, gucharmap and tried totem so, probably only about half of gnome is there) I would mislead if I said that. ĸen, temporarily using gnome-shell as the wm on his slow machine because metacity refuses to run: it makes dial-up look fast ;) -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
