 The "madness" lies in starting with a base install, installing a GNOME editor,
being suprised that it installs a bunch of stuff for the GNOME desktop, and
then counting it up and posting it to COLA.

Minimum 419MB of disk space and 259 packages (dependencies and suggested) for that piece of crap?
And what are all those sound-related libraries doing in there?
Notepad++ is doomed.
