Well, I want to run a grand total of two Gnome-aware applications...
glabels and Mozilla.

Which fontconfig does on its own... I have no idea what you think g-s-d
does in relation to fontconfig.

Last time I checked, the screen DPI wasn't something that changed
regularly, and was in need of a daemon to set it properly.  Telling X what
the screen DPI is in the traditional manner works just fine.

That presumes you think Gnome Control Center is a worthy application.
Certainly it's no issue to simply set the GTK theme appropriately in
~/.gtkrc-2.0, and ignore it thereafter.

Applications that need gconfd are perfectly capable of starting gconfd if
it's not already running... Mozilla is forever starting and stopping the
gods-be-damned thing.  I made sure that all sources gconfd looks at were
read-only so that it couldn't f*ck things up.

As for gnome-volume-manager and HAL, whyinhell would I want that?  Next
you're going to tell me everyone should use udev. <shudder>

And he finally gets the point.
