Package: gnome-session
Version: 2.30.2-1
gnome-session from version 2.32 begin depend on gnome-panel and nautilus packages but versions 2.22 do not depend on them.
gnome-session works fine without this two packages. Now we just can not use gnome-session without gnome-panel and nautilus. Just imagine systems that doesn't require gnome-panel's and nautilus's cool stuff but require graphic interface, GDM and gnome-session. In case for 2.32 version we had to use x-session, xdm and so on wich do not require Nautilus and Gnome panel.
I'm sure that gnome-session 2.32 not worser than x-session in this aspect and doesn't require Nautilus and gnome-panel too.
I suggest to switch gnome-panel and nautilus packages from dependence to recomended packages for gnome-session.
P.S. Even Metacity is not required for gnome-session great work actually.
