gnome 3

Juanito:
orca text-to-speech app (for the visually impaired) added - it probably will not work outside the gnome environment, but the underlying apps (speech-dispatcher, espeak-ng) might be useful in other desktops/window managers.

Why is GDM a dependency?

GNOME 3 can also work with other display managers or even without a display manager?

Also, why is Wayland a dependency, even though Mutter can not be built with Wayland support without systemd?

And why is 14 megabytes of gnome-backgrounds a dependency if GNOME 3 can work without wallpapers just fine?

Also, why is the old gnome-icon-theme a dependency? Why not just the new adwaita-icon-theme? One main icon theme (Adwaita) should be enough?

Small correction: Actually it now appears to be possible to use GNOME/Mutter on Wayland without systemd by making use of:

One or more packages will not compile without it.

This is not gnome specific, mesa is compiled against wayland in corepure64.

I see, thanks. Doesn't make too much of a difference size-wise anyway.

Do you have any plans to update GNOME 3 in the future and enabling Wayland through elogind?
