> I suggest that you try to minimize any use of gnome libs as possible, use slim instead of gdm, use Wicd for network as lxnw is too limited right now, aumix-gtk for mixer and a program to add menu entries.
1) slim has not been packaged. Additionally, we have to entertain the
possibility that someone might have both GNOME and LXDE installed, in
which case they need the latest GDM.
2) wicd has been packaged, but is not in-line with Ubuntu's approach
of relying upon Network-Manager for everything, hence why we need
nm-applet.
3) aumix-gtk could be usable, but would need a major load of package
dependency backflips to work around the fact that Ubuntu has become a
PulseAudio-enabled distribution, because a PA-enabled distribution
avoids touching ALSA directly.
