sorry to disagree, but upstream reckons that --disable-gnome is a VeryBadIdea(TM). The fact that Gentoo and SuSE have shipped it with a lot of bad results is probably the best rationale why we should not activate it until upstream reckons it's weeded of errors and safe to use. Basically the disable-gnome switch was added to get win32 to build. Seeing you talk about XFCE makes me wonder hard if you actually understood what current Ekiga does link against. It's nothing but the pure minimalistic set of GNOME core libs plus GTK2. That means, it's what XFCE already calls in itself. Added to this is evolution-data-server to have a centralized backend for addressbook and contacts management. This is said AFAIK to become the new default backend for freedesktop.org anyway, thus this probably also will be added to XFCE-depends sooner or later. Bottom line is, Ekiga doesn't call for GNOME as you might expect, but only the GNOME libs. Adding the switch you ask for is not a technical problem of the packaging, but the usability will be torn down by a quite reasonable part. Nothing I do find a very charming idea. If you got any intelligence what the disable-gnome switch turns off which can be disabled safely, I'm all ears to rethink that idea. Until then, I don't see any reason to _not_ tag a wishlist bug like that "wontfix". If this was meant to only ask for one avahi-enabled and one avahi-disabled, then please rephrase your demand and I shall discuss this with upstream and pkg-voip about how to make sure people don't mess up their config installing the wrong version. The ekiga(-full) can later also hold the dbus while the ekiga-minimalistic won't need to have both avahi and dbus. Nevertheless I doubt that only avahi is clashing into your XFCE trimmed config, is it? -- Best regards, Kilian
