blueman needs a notification daemon for it to run properly.
--with-no-runtime-deps-check just disables checking for notification-daemon and
other runtime deps while compiling it does not remove their need.

Other notification daemons like xfce4-notifyd and notify-osd provide
notification-daemon, so if you have one of them installed then
notification-daemon will not be pulled in as a dep.

OK,

if i've already installed a notification-daemon, no problems when installing blueman
BUT if i haven't installed any notification-daemon, if i want to install blueman pacman install also the ''notification-daemon'' package that have many gnome deps and this is a PROBLEM

indeed in my arch with openbox i don't want this !

and because blueman is compiled with --with-no-runtime-deps-check just put in a blueman.install a warning saying that you need an ''notification-daemon''

right ???
