Sure, but compare the space used by gnome-shell + mutter, vs the space
used by xorg-x11-drivers and its dependencies, or all the other kernel
modules that don't serve a purpose on a hardware platform like XO.
Yes, I agree wholeheartedly, but that's not what I'm asking for. I'm
asking that gnome 2 desktop, that works very well in the non 3D
desktop space like the XO, not to be coupled with gnome-shell / gnome
3 dependencies :-) nothing more than that.
