Hi Guys, some of you may have noticed that I have an aversion to gtk-doc (I'm getting over it). This was triggered by occasional uses of autoreconf now needing gtkdocize. That first hit me in polkit with the patch for elogind, but my memory suggested that the patch has in the past been added or rolled forward a little after updates to polkit.
So, I tried without the patch and (thus far) all of fluxbox, icewm, openbox, sawfish don't need it. I'm still working through the other packages which use autoreconf (and autoconf, to be sure), but so far only polkit with the patch, and cairo, need gtkdocize. Cairo, of course, is why I've had to install gtk-doc. But when I come to add gtk-doc as a dependency it would be better if I understood why we patch polkit. Is it for users of desktop managers and/or gnome shell (i.e. conventional startx will always work without it), or is there a different reason ? And a side question - mutter apparently gets invoked by gnome shell, is there any way to do that without using a desktop manager ?
