The wish to avoid gstreamer and its 200 dependencies let me discover the
gnome-light-ebuild, which I think are a really good idea! Especially since the
upcoming 2.4-desktop-release will be bloated so much...

The ebuild asks people to comment on what to include/exclude, and there is one
critical thing I noticed:
yelp should definitely go in. It is lightweight and somewhat of a core
component, as it is used by a lot of applications help-entries, and you don't
really want to take that feature out?

The rest is fine, don't know on how picky.I should be there, as I can emerge all
the extra-packages manually. :)

we probably should update the gnome-light meta-package as well, right now it
still weighs in at about 127 deps, with yelp, it adds an extra 2 deps, yelp and
libgtkhtml.

it sounds like a reasonable thing

yes it needs updating, just didn't get around to it yet.

yelp sounds ok to me. You'd expect all basic functionality still to work (application help is basic).

you could extend the thinking-pattern to include all the generic stuff where
people have no real choice.
I'd include eog and gconf-editor as well, but these one can be argued against I
admit. But since gnome-2.4 will bring about 10 hours more compilation time, I
think gnome-light will be more important in future. :)

Another problem is the "gnome-desktop"-ebuild. I would have expected the
official desktop-release behind it, as it's the official name. But in portage
it is just the set of libs without any apps. Worth another bug-report?

gnome-desktop :
ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/desktop/2.2/2.2.2/sources/gnome-desktop-2.2.2.tar.bz2
and:
Description: Libraries for the gnome desktop that is not part of the UI


as that, yes, it is only some libs, unfortunately this may well cause users confusion.

yelp has been added to the gnome-light-2.2.1 ebuild as a result of the comments
on this bug (general consensus that yelp is fine). note that gnome-light should
be updated to 2.2.2.
