DetailsDescription:
Xorg-server package depends on libdbus and systemd-logind (and possibly on libsystemd), but those are not listed as dependancies. Xorg-server, if packaged this way, can't start for people replacing systemd and not using some kind of systemd compatibility package that provides logind. In addition, if one wants to get rid of dbus and recompiles only the packages pacman says depend on dbus one will not be able to start xorg-server. I don't know if xorg-server depends on libsystemd as I've removed all of systemd in one go. Steps to reproduce: 1. Uninstall systemd and libsystemd 2. Uninstall libdbus 3. run "startx" (without quotes) 4. xorg complains about missing libdbus |

If you want to remove base system components and recompile packages to remove base system dependencies, it's your task to make it work, not ours.
