Bug Description

Binary package hint: fusion-icon

Since Jaunty, fusion-icon suddenly depends on compiz-gtk (which isn't available), compiz-kde or compiz-gnome [1]. Considering how I'm on Xfce, I don't want any of those - I'd prefer to keep using Emerald like I'm doing on Intrepid. Therefore, it would be very nice if either that can be added as an alternative dependency or the compiz-gtk, -kde and -gnome dependencies could be removed.

I vouch for this change. It's really annoying to have to install half of Gnome or KDE only to get the icon. I now have the Intrepid version installed and set an apt-pin to prevent updates from installing.
Please change the dependency to recommended for compiz-gnome and compiz-kde so we Xfce users won't be bothered with useless packages. It would be great if it could be changed before Karmic goes final.

Or make a dummy package compiz-gtk to fix the dependency issue.

Its a little much that all this stuff has to get installed to support a tray icon... particularly when I only have about 300MB of disk free left on my netbook... I too will be looking for the old version.
