Yesterday I sent a patch (http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24252/) against
the latest compiz ubuntu gutsy source package to Amaranth, to make
compiz compile (and package, of course) the gtk-window-decorator in
two ways:
1) as gtk-window-decorator (= compiz-gtk package) using these
configuration parameters:
--disable-gnome \
--disable-metacity \
--disable-gconf \
[--disable-dbus --disable-dbus-glib] # those can be disabled
too, isn't it?!
A so built package on an ubuntu environment will depend on:
libatk1.0-0, libc6, libcairo2, libdbus-1-3, libdbus-glib-1-2,
libdecoration0, libfontconfig1, libglib2.0-0, libgtk2.0-0,
libpango1.0-0, libwnck18, libx11-6, libxcursor1, libxext6,
libxfixes3, libxi6, libxinerama1, libxrandr2
2) as gnome-window-decorator (= compiz-gnome package) enabling all the
gnome related options (and so, metacity teming support, gconf support...)
A package built in this way will depend on:
libatk1.0-0, libc6, libcairo2, libdbus-1-3, libdbus-glib-1-2,
libdecoration0, libfontconfig1, libgconf2-4, libglib2.0-0,
libgtk2.0-0, libmetacity0, liborbit2, libpango1.0-0, libwnck18,
libx11-6, libxcursor1, libxext6, libxfixes3, libxi6, libxinerama1,
libxrandr2, libxrender1
As you can see there's no much difference between the two, but the few
differencies are important for non-gnome users since they make them
install gnome related packages like libgconf and libmetacity first of
all, generally unneeded on other environments.
So, in facts, I'd suggest to rename a gtk window decorator with gnome
extensions as gnome-window-decorator, while keeping the
gtk-window-decorator as the default for all the environments...
Of course, the implementation I made for the package is only a
workaround for this and it's working only on debian-based distros, but
I don't think that would be hard to patch the code to make compile
both the gtk-window-decorator and the gnome-winow-decorator in a
different way.
If this isn't possible, I'd suggest to compiz packagers (Amaranth
already knows this) to use a way to split the packages similar to this
for keeping a cross-Desktop-environment.
