Right. So, the gnome-control-center-signon source package which provides
the UOA applet allows building the UOA applet as a standalone
application. Maybe we should package the standalone app in a separate
package, and make it available to GNOME users? In this way, they could
access UOA without having to install the unity-control-center.
Would this address your concerns?
