okay, dbus is only required when a DE (Gnome,Mate, ...) is present. If I'm correct, and given the fact that I don't use a DE, I could look at safely remove it? In other words, why is dbus a dependency when no DE is installed or what are the corner cases when dbus is needed without a DE. -- John Doe
