But there's a practical side to my objection. Sorry if it didn't come across. If
there's an app I'm mildly curious about that, upon downloading, I can't even get
through configure because I don't have 100MB of other stuff it wants, I toss it.
I don't have time to install a huge desktop environment just to give one app a
test drive.
If I had GNOME installed, that would be no problem; but I'm on a laptop here and
space is tight, and I really don't want to have to make room for it. When I get
more drive space this won't be a big issue for me.
Where's the ideological problem there? We were *asked* for our complaints with
GLAME, *as users* ... that's mine. Why is anyone taking offense?
