I don't know much about any of the technologies so here's some questions: Is gtk icon cache only a cache (ie: things will run without, just slower?) Do shared-mime-info and desktop-file-utils fall into the same category or does some functionality of programs fail to work if desktop-file-utils and shared-mime-info aren't run? Your post makes me think that some Core GNOME applications (nautilus? gnome-panel? gnome-vfs?) make use of the data generated by desktop-file-utils and shared-mime-info but nothing else. Is that true or just a guess? shared-mime-info seems to run itself on installation and update but desktop-file-utils does not. If desktop-file-utils is made optional for the scriptlets, the desktop-file-utils Core package should run itself on install. (Hmm.. gtk2 doesn't run gtk-update-icon-cache on install... is this a packaging bug? Or perhaps this bug would resolve it: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=170335 ) -Toshio
