Why do you assume that my desktop env is modern in sense of being D-Bus enabled? Neither of its pillars - cwm, xterm, tmux and vim - has anything to do with D-Bus. My point is not about the _size_ of dependencies, but rather about their _nature_. See, I don't use any features of D-Bus, as none of the apps I installed uses it. (Well, my browser does something on D-Bus, but (1) optionally and (2) there is nothing else connected.) I am not even aware of any useful way to use D-Bus. Obviosly, I don't need it. Same goes for dconf, as I keep all the settings I can out of dconf's touch, just because I don't like it. To my knowledge, no dconf key is altered in my setup, so I probably don't make any actual use of it anyway. -- Dmitrij D. Czarkoff
