Yes.
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?
The latter.
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?
Gnome in general, yes. That's why I'm arguing it should be the GNOME
libs/core bits that should depend on these, not (all) individual apps.
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.
I'm not arguing that running them should be optional, only that the
additional dependancies for them not be added/Required.
(Hmm.. gtk2 doesn't run gtk-update-icon-cache on install... is
this a packaging bug?
IMO, yes.
Or perhaps this bug would resolve it:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=170335
Yes too. (that's my bug).
