[FreeNX-kNX] node.conf defaults?

[Alastair Johnson]

Unless it's needed by _all_ the default sessions I would say you're right not 
to include it as a dependency. Most of the time the required packages will 
probably be there anyway, as they were on the system I installed from the FC5 
DVD. It's just for troubleshooting the odd cases that a list of what's known 
to be required would be useful. You've done a great job of making FreeNX easy 
to install for the vast majority of FC5 users - I'm just one of the awkward 
few ;-)

BTW on the system that didn't 'just work' dbus was installed, but dbus-x11 was 
not. dbus includes the dbus-launch man page but _not_ the executable, which 
is in dbus-x11. I used yum install kdebase to get kde on the system, so 
presumably dbus-x11 isn't a dependency of anything in there.
