I just installed FC6 tonight. I chose KDE over Gnome. And I just thought to check what exactly was on my system and if I could clean it up a bit. During my poking around I realised that 71 packages rely on gnome-keyring. The name, and the description in the RPM suggest that this a password management tool. Removing this would take with it: libs, openoffice, koffice, 4 system config tools, 2 out of 3 of my browsers , to sound engines and 2 media players to name a few things. There are a lot of deps that seem strange to me, I suppose in my ignorance. Can anyone shed some light on this? Another example would be tat removign gnome-panel cascades into having to remove kerry (KDE beagle front end) although beagle seems to be sepeated into a daemon and a gui package , and gnome-panel seems to be a gui component. So instead of filing a ton og BZs and making a fool of myself, I'm asking questions here. Thank you. -- Fedora Core 6 and proud
