BTW on a side note I just checked the dependencies here. SUNWhal and SUNWrmvolmgr depend on SUNWgnome-base-libs. SUNWgnome-base-libs != GNOME. GNOME included in Nevada consists of about 181 packages as of B78. However SUNWgnome-base-libs does have a bunch of other dependencies including Xorg libs that are redundant on a headless system. >> Another example, is Xscreensaver.

SUNWxwsvr also includes Xscreensaver GNOME integration. Maybe that can be separate package.
