[Bug 292403] Re: MASTER firefox 3.03 in kubuntu 8.10 requires gnome apps

I think we all need to realize there are differences between gtk as a
toolkit and gnome as a desktop environment and what constitutes a
reasonable "requirement" to have a strong relationship which forces one
to install a gnome dep for an app which is supposed to be gtk based and
desktop agnostic. If the app is not truly desktop agnostic, I would
understand, but it is supposed to be.

Perhaps some meta package magic would help. For a gnome desktop
experience, seeding a meta package in the gnome-desktop (or similar) to
pull in the extra bits seems much better than cramming everything down
the pipe to users of Xfce, KDE, etc.

Only my 2 cents though as an observer.
