1 I had put that I would never see it because all gtk+ is being used for on this
2 box is to run gkrellm2, on the occasion when I'm running it. The only time I
3 get file choices are through the xmms plugin, otherwise I can recall no other
4 instances. This is why I'd personally choose not to have the icons, or the
5 libxml2,etc., as gtk+ itself is a heavy enough dep for that one app. I hold no
6 bias against plain gtk+ users to have their icons, as I have been that route
7 in the past, and it is a fine base for those applications, and the sprucing up
8 would help. I have also thought about liquidx's idea of injecting the
9 packages, but that does cause minor extra maintenence, and the idea of
10 injecting means (to me) that we need to inject because of lack of choice.
11 Cutting this short, I would have no objection to a local USE of "filechooser"
12 or "icons" so that each interested party can make their own choice.
13 Thanks.
