Those instructions support those that may want gnome-terminal, but
not
the rest of gnome.
Then why is it only in the SysV book?
Why is what only in the SysV book? gnome-terminal is certainly there.
But now with elogind I think we can build a full GNOME environment in sysv?
We
should make these two parameters optional.
We can change the explanations and add gmome-shell as an optional
dependency. We already have nautilus as recommended, but honestly I do
not understand how a terminal emulator would use a file manager or gnome
shell if the user is not using the gnome desktop environment.
It does not use a file manager or gnome shell.
gnome-terminal attempts to build a nautilus extension so we can use "Open in
terminal" in nautilus. And, it's acting as a "gnome-shell search provider" so
we can search for a terminal in gnome shell dashboard. (See the image
appended.)
If we want to satisify those guys who use gnome-terminal but not other GNOME
components, we should add these two options for systemd book as well. Not all
systemd users use GNOME DE.
OK, I agree that the page needs to be updated. I've asked Doug to
review and update since he is our gnome goto guy.
