Bug#544148: please let me disable gvfs* processes

[martin f krafft]

Package: gvfs
Version: 1.2.3-3
Severity: wishlist

I don't use any GNOME UI stuff, and in particular no gvfs, which
I think must mean GNOME virtual filesystem stuff. But I have to have
it installed because I use some applications that depend on
libgnome2-0.

Since I don't actually want any gvfs features, it would be nice if
debconf could ask me whether I'd like to disable starting of the
associated processes:

  madduck   5845  0.0  0.0  41132  1088 ?        S    Jul18   0:00 /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd
  madduck  14402  0.0  0.0 138380  1596 ?        Sl   Jul21   0:01 /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfs-hal-volume-monitor

as a means to save resources.

Thank you,
