Well, I unfortunately don't understand this in depth, I just noticed that 
previous version of farsight2 didn't require so much deps, in contrast to 
this. What I was asking for is to consider if it would be possible to keep the 
dependencies as low as possible (the old version). 
Like you said the stuff is brought for the RTP plugin, so could this be made 
just optional? (I know I could rebuild it myself as I wish, I just like to 
stick to offic packages as much as possible).

I know :), but I like it. Just it seems me and some more ppl dont like 
kopete/pidgin now pulling lot of gnome dependencies. 

Thanks, Mark
