Comment(by dsd):

 I mailed a patch to Dennis to remove totem-pl-parser's dependency on
 libcamel. In addition to that and xulrunner I have also worked on the
 following:

  * We forked gnome-python2 in OLPC-2 to remove some dependencies and we
 should do so again. Basically gnome-python2 includes libgnome bindings
 which pull in libgnome (and then loads of other crap including window
 managers and icon themes). We don't actually use the libgnome bindings, we
 just use the gnomevfs component. I sent a new spec file to Dennis which is
 hopefully suitable for Fedora upstream too, and will result in the
 libgnome portions dropping out of the dependency chain.
  * We forked gnome-vfs2 in OLPC-2 to remove the gnome-mount dependency and
 should do again. The code fails gracefully when it is asked to mount
 something and cannot find any utilities to do so.

 My work on the above 4 packages should result in (at least) the following
 packages falling out of the build: gnome-mount, PolicyKit-gnome, libsexy,
 hunspell-en, hunspell, evolution-data-server, gnome-keyring, libgnome,
 fedora-gnome-theme, nokoko-metacity-theme, metacity, control-center-fs,
 fedora-icon-theme, gnome-themes, gnome-python2-bonobo. Possibly libbonobo
 and libbonoboui too.
