           Summary: Stale libgnomeui dependency
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: HEAD CVS
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor

   GNOME milestone: Unspecified


gstreamer's configure script checks for the libgnomeui library.  This library
was once used by one of the examples from the manual; see
tests/old/examples/manual/Makefile.am.  Note that this code is in the tests/old
subdirectory, so it is now unused (until someone adapts it to 0.10, if I
understood it correctly).

In the meantime, I think that it'd be good if the extra "cruft" was removed. 
This could allow confusion.  E.g., while packaging gstreamer 0.10 I saw that it
needed this library and was tempted to make the package depend on libgnomeui. 
Upon further inspection, I saw that this dependency was a "false positive". 
Other people can be confused as well.

Furthermore, if this test is readded in the future, it'd be nice if it was done
in a way that didn't force the whole gstreamer package to depend on libgnomeui.
 After all, it is only used for a single example and is not needed at all to
get gstreamer working.

Summarizing: configure.ac shouldn't check for libgnomeui.
