 It is an integral part of gnome - it gets used all over the
place.  In my case, I build it so that yelp will work -

 In gnome, you are expected to build it all, lock stock and barrel.
Those of us who don't (me included) get to keep all the pieces when
it breaks.

 The package is in the Desktop part of gnome, between gnome-panel and
nautilus.  Does totem or totem-pl-parser need it at runtime ?  No
idea - generally, running the tests on desktop packages is a waste
of time!
