My gentoo experiments indicate that you can have a perfectly good system
without any dbus stuff, O have not bothered to install a DM, since I just
use startx.O use openbox in place of a more sophisticate DE, libreoffice,
Firefox and a number of other common GUI applications run OK, however we
would need other things like a network manager, IIIRC even wicd needs that
stuff.
