You don't have to _RUN_ anything in the background. You link to |
| 12 |
gnome-libs just as you link against libc or any other lib. Galeon uses |
| 13 |
ORBit (which is an ORB, it isn't GNOME) just as any other package using |
| 14 |
CORBA would use an ORB. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Saying that a package is bloated and such things just because it uses |
| 17 |
gnome-libs (or kde-libs or any other library) is just pure crap. It's |
| 18 |
many times the otherway around since the libraries are tested and |
| 19 |
probably more optimized than the app-writers own implementation. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
So... you don't have to run "GNOME" (ie. gnome-session/gnome-panel) in |
| 22 |
the background, you just have to link against the libraries. |
