To go along with this, I am retiring xosd. There are still a few things
that use it or have xosd subpackages. If any of those folks want to
take it over, they would need both it and gdk-pixbuf.=20
[...]
xmms-xosd-0:2.2.14-14.fc15.x86_64
xmms-xosd is subpackage of xosd. xosd requires gdk-pixbuf-0 only because
of the XMMS plug-in.
Because I use xosd but XMMS, I'm taking xosd to continue it without XMMS
extension.
