+I havent added anything, and thats not the main problem, and the
+buildrequire i add to kdegraphics i did first talked with mikala. I
+saw you have removed it again saying it was a bad require, thats not
+correct, kgamma needs xf86vm (i know its a dev package thats called by
+other apps, thats why i didnt refered anything when you removed it
+from kdegraphics.
+
+Regarding xmms, glib and ORbit are apps that should be provided to the user.
+The user may still want to build kdenetwork with xmms and currently
+mageia isnt providing it.
+To remember that exist other apps that need ORbit and glib (and these
+are apps that continue being developed) and mageia isnt providing
+them.
