The easiest way IME to find out what pulls in a pkg with a doodad that has a menu item is to install them one at a time and check the menu. If you can't live with those dependencies, then immediately uninstall it and use autoremove with apt. You are using apt, right? >In past conversations it has been suggested that I do a typical install >and just un-install the un-desired elements: > > >That is undesirable for two primary reasons: >1. I would not reach my primary goal of "grok how packages interact". It might help your understanding though. I would try it that way, do a full install, then a full install without recommends, and observe what does and does not work the way you expect. Don't forget the recommends when building your minimal system also. Many programs work fine without them, but some lose major functionality... you don't know until you try. Nobody can make the decisions because you're the one with the need and desire to grok the thing. It's good, try it all out, break a few systems trying to do things you shouldn't. It can really be an eye-opener how complicated pkg management is. In the end, I think metapkgs with selective removal are best for the desktop environments though. The way you want to do it is great for window manager setup...
