2017-03-23 18:00:31 Jeremy Bícha summary GTK2 is still required for gnome session, XWayland is always running Make it possible to remove gtk2
2017-03-23 18:00:31 Jeremy Bícha description I can't remove GTK2 from my system, because parts of GNOME still require it. During Wayland session XWayland is running all the time. I don't know if it is related or not, but maybe if we get rid of GTK2 dependencies, XWayland will not be needed anymore? I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS with GNOME PPA (3.20) and I really want to remove GTK2 from my system. ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: gnome-session-wayland 3.20.0-2ubuntu1~xenial1 [origin: LP-PPA-gnome3-team-gnome3-staging] ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-22.40-generic 4.4.8 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-22-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: GNOME Date: Thu May 26 09:37:34 2016 InstallationDate: Installed on 2016-05-16 (9 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-GNOME 16.04 LTS "Xenial Xerus" - Release amd64 (20160421) SourcePackage: gnome-session UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) Ubuntu GNOME 17.04 still requires gtk2 ------------------------------------------------------- sudo apt remove libgtk2.0-0 firefox* gnome-session-canberra* gnome-themes-standard* gtk2-engines-pixbuf* ibus-gtk* libcanberra-gtk-module* libcanberra-gtk0* libgail-common* libgail18* libgtk2.0-0* libgtk2.0-bin* libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37-gtk2* ubuntu-gnome-default-settings* ubuntu-gnome-desktop Proposal for 17.10 ------------------------- 1. Don't have webkit2 recommend the gtk2 support. 2. Split the gtk2 part of gnome-accessibility-themes to a separate package. 3. Split the gtk2 part of light-themes to a separate package. 4. Have either the Ubuntu metapackages (or gtk3 directly) depend on the gtk3 part of gnome-accessibility-themes 5. Look into moving these recommends and depends from the Ubuntu metapackages to libgtk2.0-0 a. gnome-themes-standard (and gnome-accessibility-themes-gtk2) b. light-themes-gtk2 c. ibus-gtk 6. Look into having moving gnome-session-canberra and libcanberra-gtk-module's dependency on libcanberra-gtk0 (the gtk2 support) to libgtk2.0-0 7. That only leaves Firefox which the Ubuntu metapackages recommend. Firefox probably has a gtk2 dependency for Flash support. Original Bug Report --------------------------- I can't remove GTK2 from my system, because parts of GNOME still require it.

IN PROGRESS: Don't have ubuntu-desktop or gnome-orca recommend libgail-common.
