What's with your comments on GConf, that you use an older version because the dependencies of 2.28 scare you? Those dependencies are ORBit2, libxml2, dbus-glib, polkit, and gtk+ - a fairly small and harmless set of packages... what's scary about them? Regarding libbonobo and friends, they're still used in Gnome 2.30, but only because one or two core packages (e.g gnome-panel) can't abandon them completely without breaking backward compatibility. Also, regarding D-Bus, you comment "the last thing I need is for my computer to second-guess what I want to do with something I've plugged in". Uh, what does D-Bus have to do 'stuff you've plugged in'? It's just a service for message passing between processes... it's got nothing to do with hardware... Simon.
