New comment by flexibeast on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/21382#issuecomment-626449435 Comment: > Seems like it's still only a (sorta) soft dependency. It's only the lack of fonts that crashes the session. \*nod\* Well, i still think it should be added as a dependency (of `gdm`, from what you've said) - lack of an icon theme may not cause a crash, but GNOME is basically unusable without it. (Submitting an issue about the icon theme problem in the Void packaging was something i had on my TODO list as a result of writing up the GNOME page in the Handbook, but i hadn't got to it yet ....)
