I think we'll reach consensus that it's okay to use it: aren't we in
love with dbus now? ;-) Also, I'm a bit reluctant on imposing
restrictions on our blessed dependencies/external modules: we should
definitely tell their maintainers when we're not happy, but doing
more might not be sensible from us.

Now, what about liboobs? :-) I guess it should be included in the
desktop set.
