Hi, as a packager of tomboy, last-exit and banshee and the ndesk-dbus stuff for Ubuntu and Debian I'm all for it. For security and bugfix reasons it's a nightmare to have it bundled into all applications and for Debian/Ubuntu we're currently building all packages against a system ndesk-dbus already. Most packages allow this optionally already by the configure script but having them depending on the libraries instead of bundling will improve the situation even more for everybody.
