Hello Debian Xfce maintainers!
It looks like the 'task-xfce-desktop' package depends on the 'network-manager-gnome' one.
Unfortunately, currently there's an excessive dependency problem with 'network-manager-gnome'
(it recommends 'gnome-bluetooth', which since recently pulls GNOME3 core components, see the bug discussion):
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=714803
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=714803#10
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=714803#73
IMHO, NetworkManager Applet is a necessary component for Xfce (still light-weight) desktop,
so I suggest to support my proposal
(to lower the 'gnome-bluetooth' dependency priority to "Suggests" for 'network-manager-gnome'),
and thus save Debian users from installing hundreds of megabytes of unused packages.
----
Best wishes, Bob
