When I install gnome I don't install gnome-desktop-environment. I enter that in aptitude and pick the items I want from there. gnome-power-management is recommended by gnome-screen-saver so when I install that I temporarily disable aptitude from automatically installing recommended packages. Maybe the long way around but it gets me where I want to be.. :) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
