Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
I appreciate the quick comments. First to address Alexander:
The way I phrased it, it really isn't a truly "recommended"
dep because of the caveat 'if you think you may install a
GNOME desktop remove the --disable-esd'.
There will be just as many that don't want it as do want it.
My feeling is that we don't recommend something unless there
is true missing functionality if it isn't installed. And only
those installing the full Desktop need it and we say to do it,
and even say to remove the --disable-esd.
Not trying to defend my position, but if we have to consider
this an exception to the rule of what may be technically
correct or not, then so be it. My belief is that we've
adequately described the situation and the pitfalss if you
don't make the right decision.
To Dan's comment:
It more reinforces what I was saying in that only if you
install the full Desktop does it make any differencde if
ESD is installed or not. At least that is how I interpreted
what you said.
I appreciate the comments. Like I said, I've gone back and
forth with this for *years*. Now you've got me thinking about
it again and I'm not sure what to do (everyone so far except
me thinks it should be recommened without any caveats). :-)
I'd bet Ken. M. could comment on this as well as he's one
that uses GNOME libs, but not the desktop.
Again, thanks for the comments. Pondering....
