Ok, imagine we have openbox openbox-devel openbox-gdm: requires gdm openbox-gnome openbox-libs gnome-panel-control: requires gnome-panel Would it be ok it openbox-gnome required both gnome-panel-control and openbox-gdm? (In reply to comment #1) > Would it be ok it openbox-gnome required both gnome-panel-control and > openbox-gdm? Yes, of course. The package openbox-gnome provides just a full-featured GNOME session (through the dependencies), but with Openbox as window manager. In any case, gnome-panel-control doesn't need GNOME at all and should have its own package. Well, somewhat odd that it is part of the Openbox sources, but I think the upstream developers were looking for a applicable gateway to call the panel appropriately. The better that we have an universal tool which doesn't need a certain window manager.

Well, it needs gnome-panel which needs gnome-shell and pretty much everything of GNOME. :( Or were you trying to say it should not depend on openbox? (In reply to comment #3) > Or were you trying to say it should not depend on openbox? Yes, that's what I want to say. It's a tool which is independent from the window manager. It needs gnome-panel only. Well, the gnome-panel package has recursive dependencies to other GNOME stuff, which isn't really needed, actually. But in any case, such a package won't need Openbox at all. Any news about this? I'm ok with the suggestions, patches for the spec are welcome. openbox-3.5.0-6.fc17 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 17. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/openbox-3.5.0-6.fc17 Package openbox-3.5.0-6.fc17: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 17 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days.
