If I "apt-get remove dbus", "the following packages will be REMOVED" => among others: "gedit", "gnome-app-install", "gnome-panel", "gnome-session", "gnome-settings-daemon", "gparted" etc etc., quite a lot actually (347MB).

How can I safely remove dbus without removing all these apps/libs?
(Also, during most app install, I get errors stating HAL isn't configured yet, and thus remains unconfigured => is that a problem?)

Thanks!
