I do not know. What I would want would be just the binaries and anything needed in share/. It would be great if there were no development-related files there, as that's the only area where I care about "purity" or "pollution". Something seems to be propagating libraries into the profile. I will punt on the issue though; I think it's a problem with one of the gnome packages and not the service. Andy
