Why is bonobo-config a 2.0 core library?

[Stephen Browne <stephen browne sun com>]

Hi,

I was really hesitant to send this mail because I really dont want
to ressurect a flamefest about bonobo-confg, but here goes anyway.

My question is in the subject and I'd like the release team to consider
this at their next meeting.

I cant see anything in GNOME 2.0 that is (should) be using bonobo-config
so I'm wondering why it is defined as a core 2.0 lib. If I missed
something that is using it then let me know.

Control Center is moving to GConf now and the only other thing I could
see that defined a dependancy on b-c was gnome-media which doesn't
actually use it anywhere.

Also I noticed that b-c has been taken out of the list of HEAD modules
in the vicious-build-scripts.

Iain, I have attached a patch to remove the pkg-config check for
bonobo-config from gnome-media, mostly to follow the 'send a patch get
get heard' process. :-)

Stephen.
