Details

Description:
I just did a pacman cleanup of unused dependencies and noticed that xorg-utils is now unneeded by xorg-server. Thinking this odd, I checked the package details on the front page, and sure enough, it appears not to be needed in testing. After uninstalling it (xorg-utils) with:
# pacman -Rcns $(pacman -Qdtq)

fusion-icon was unable to start, as it requires xorg-utils as a dependency. Perhaps it should be marked as one?

Additional info:
* package version(s)
xorg-utils 7.4-2
xorg-server 1.6.0-2
fusion-icon 20090213-1

* config and/or log files etc.
# fusion-icon
* Detected Session: gnome
* Error: xvinfo not installed!

Steps to reproduce:
Upgrade to xorg-server 1.6.0-2
# pacman -Rcns $(pacman -Qdtq)
Run fusion-icon.
This task depends upon

xorg-server itself doesn't need this package to operate. It should be a dependency for the package that contains fusion-icon, though I could add it to the xorg group because it's part of xorg.

I just wonder if this is really the only problem that stems from xorg-utils being unneeded XD Oh well.

For reference, I installed fusion-icon from the group compiz-fusion-gtk
