After I was unable to find my previous bug which I made yesterday and report the problem I will have to create a new one...

Like title say the "-libnotify" use on midori-0.5.4 is not working anymore right and is grayed out or so... It wants to get all this libnotify and daemons as depends which is not needed for anyone which dont use a full DE like me. In midori 0.5.2 it was existing but now it dont is working. please fix it. thanks.

best regards
chris

BTW: please dont delete it simply this time or dont know what was the problem because it is not existing anymore without mail-notification on me or so.

Unbelievable!

That is a break for whole linux. Another software which I have to ban permanently from my pc! Its another cause of the "systemd" and buntibunti-desktop evolutition. Make depeds hard and force the user something on what they dont want or not really need. I am not going to pull in a whole libnotify crap in my windowmaker system only for this browser!! Someone should report that the develvoper. For me it is end here, will unmerge it finaly.

And the funny fact is that this browser was exactly designed for this low ressources windowmanagers and so on and now it depends on something like what only use whole desktop enviroments... sad, sad, sad... unix philosophy which says that a software should only do one thing is die more and more...

And also firefox and all others are able to create notifications also without libnotify. if someone see it also so than please cross sent it to midori develvoper.

They think someone will have running a system service only for ONE webbrowser ?!?
