Run time dependencies are a bit of a grey area. Sometimes they're mentioned and sometimes not, e.g., you don't need to install Xorg Server to install Gtk+ but Gtk+ is pretty useless without Xorg Server and yet it's not mentioned on either of the Gtk+ pages. In general we focus on compile time dependencies. > I know little of MPlayer and installed only the Blue skin, but > installing hicolor-icon-theme fixed the problem and gmplayer executed > well. hicolor-icon-theme is listed as Recommended in the gtk+ > documentation. We tend to treat recommended deps the same as required deps, we expect you to install them and if you don't, well, that's your decision.
