 Doh, I never received your followup for some reason.
 
 Looking at the zenity port it appears that it will bring along a few 
 low-level GNOME stuff (ORBit2, gconf2, gnomehier, etc.), not the real 
 heavyweights (gnomemedia, gnomelibs, gnomeapplets, etc.). Naturally, 
 users that get bpm as a gnome2-power-tools dependency won't care, but 
 others might. Unfortunately I haven't found anything similar, but 
 DE-agnostic.
 
 Since bpm is a desktop application, I personally don't mind a little 
 extra cruft every now and then in exchange for unique functionality. 
 Perhaps this should be considered a temporary measure, until proper 
 OPTIONS handling is implemented in bpm without extra helper applications.
