I'd like to give a quick heads-up and update on what needs to be trimmed within our dependencies. Razor ideally functions within a pure-qt environment, so we always assume our users don't want GTK/GNOME/KDE dependencies.- Lightdm is an annoying one. Its end-dependencies are slim, but it requires a lot of crap in order to build. I filed the following bugs for it but it's not enough:It also assumes a lot of gtk-related rt deps. Ideally, we should coordinate with the lightdm devs here to have something nicely platform-agnostic but I don't know any of them. Anyone up for the task?
- Oxygen is an awesome theme which a lot of users want to use, but it depends on KDE. I know there are some old kde-less builds floating around... it would be awesome to have someone work on keeping a good one up to date. Even better would be to contact the devs -- I tried that in the past without much success, oxygen feels like a secretive underground dev community.
- Kwin needs to lose its dependencies on KDE. Martin is working on that and keeping in touch with Petr. Yay :) It would be cool to have Martin frequent this mailing list, too.A last one worth mentioning is volumeicon. I'm planning to get it ported to Qt as soon as I can, but I heard there was an effort from someone else to build a qt volume icon from scratch. Is that still ongoing?

Has slim been looked into for display managers? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SLiMWhat are the advantages of lightdm over slim?

You can't really avoid glib, considering how basic FreeDesktop tools
like pkg-config, desktop-file-utils and shared-mime-info depend on it
(and I'd be surprised if there were any distros where libQtCore itself
is not linked to it.)

Uh, half of those are shellscripts, not glib.Still, glib is good to avoid, but as I said the issues are much deeper than that with lightdm. It's very tied-in with gnome. If someone wants to take up the task, feel free :)

Nope, you're probably confusing it with something else. The three
packages I mentioned don't even contain shell scripts.

Just because it links to a non-GUI library created by gnome, does not
make it "very tied-in with gnome" ;)
