libgnome-desktop is required by cheese, control-center and
gnome-settings-daemon. We could drop cheese, but we wont get rid of the
rest:
      * control-center is required by gnome-bluetooth
      * gnome-settings-daemon is required by gdm

There is no alternative to gdm and gnome-blueetooth [1].

If I were or a member of the design team I would not push changes like
this one that late. I think this level of carelessness is inappropriate.

There are three solutions:
      * A gnome-desktop-libs package, but it is too late to change for
        F14.
      * Make gnome-desktop not depend on system-backgrounds-gnome.
      * Revert the changes on laughlin-backgrounds-gnome.

[1] blueman, the only alternative to gnome-bluetooth depends on
gnome-session which depends on control-center, so we end up with
gnome-desktop again.
