Unneeded directory..from what?
I'm doing some cleaning of my system and while looking for an answer to another issue, I discovered this file: /etc/default/kdm.d/10_desktop-base I do not use kde at all and have never installed it on this system. I see nothing showing 'residual' files or configs installed, so where did this come from, can I just delete it? frosty -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

I actually discovered the source of the dependency right after I mailed the list. Thanks for replying, I've decided to just leave it. Wish there was a Debian setup protocol that would allow selecting Gnome or Kde, etc. the installer would use packages that would simply not have the unneeded files in them. Seems that would go a long ways towards eliminating bugs. But I am not a developer am very grateful for their efforts.
