=== Live image dependencies: breaking libcanberra-gtk2 dependency ===
This week the KDE SIG team worked to remove libcanberra-gtk2 from the live images because it forces the inclusion of many GNOME dependencies due to a requirement for GDM. Kevin Kofler discovered that libcanberra-gtk2 requires GDM for ownership of a single file, /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow/libcanberra-ready-sound.desktop. A bug<ref>https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=522998</ref> has been filed on the package and when this is resolved, the KDE Live Spins will have about 30MiB fewer dependencies.
