I'm asking this out of ignorance rather than rhetorically:

How much of this is the distribution and how much of this is gnome?

I know, for instance, if I install an Ubuntu or Mint system, they have
these meta-packages that have all these dependencies to pull in, in
this example, a complete gnome. Is that really the fault of upstream?
