Yes, it is, but the packages it depends-on are not that small. And
please keep in mind that I'm not proposing to remove the dependence on
startup-notification. I just want to make it optional, and enabled by
default. Those who want to turn it off will have that choice.

I did not say that startup-notification is a GNOME application. I was
referring to  libgnomeui.

omelettes, but because I like the sound of eggs being broken.
