Well, those plugins are included by default and are unusable without that package (same goes for most of the python plugins found on the net), so I wouldn't say gedit fully works without it.
The CommonInstallHook solution would be nice, but in the meanwhile, can't the dependency be added? It's in main and is already required by some other gnome programs (ontv, serpentine, deskbar-applet ...). -- Gedit package should depend on python-gnome2-desktop https://launchpad.net/bugs/48698 -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
