We could make libgtk2.0-0 depend on gvfs, but this sucks hard, since gvfs depends on D-Bus and GConf so we would get hung by maintainers of applications depending on GTK+. The solution that was chosen so far is to make all applications using gtk_show_uri or g_app_info_launch* recommend or depend on gvfs, depending on how the functionality is important. I think these parts of the GIO API really suck; to avoid having a hard dependency on GConf, they replaced it by a soft dependency, meaning you can’t rely on the fact dependencies are installed for the functions you use to work correctly. -- .''`. : :' : We are debian.org.
