That's not planned yet but I think with 0.4 (which I'll get uploaded

I decided to Depend on avahi-daemon as the applet is completely useless
without it. In a perfect world it would be a Recommends but until
everything (i.e. synaptic, apt-get, etc) installes Recommends per
default I want to keep it as a Depends to prevent unnecessary
bugreports :)

gnome-user-share in the list.
