I’m sorry, I didn’t see your email before my reply to Mathieu and the my decision to push! “gvfs” is useful for more than just GNOME. For a long time I tried to figure out why USB devices would not be mounted automatically in Xfce and I ran gvfsd and the gvfs-* device monitor daemons manually — until today when I understood that these daemons are supposed to be started automatically if only the DBUS service files were found. We probably should add it to the “gnome” meta-package, and additionally document in the manual that gvfs must be installed system-wide to allow DBUS to find the service files and start the monitoring daemons on demand. What do you think? If that’s okay I’ll prepare a patch for this. -- Ricardo GPG: BCA6 89B6 3655 3801 C3C6 2150 197A 5888 235F ACAC http://elephly.net
