That would be pushing my luck a bit too far :) I see: # apt-get --purge remove libgconf2-4 making some 120 package dependencies being removed :( > If so, I suspect this might be a gconfd bug, or at least the gconfd > maintainers should know why gconfd starts up when a pygtk application > runs. gPodder doesn't require any Gnome-specific stuff and doesn't load > any gnome/gconf-related things.

Yes. I changed to xine and killed again /usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconfd-2. I confirm the gnome stuff is no longer triggered. Tried vlc. That seems to be fine too.
