i was also wondering WHY the httpd package was installed.. now it isn`t much of a problem for me because i play alot with httpd and php anyway so i need it but still it`s installed... for nothing on the other users. BTW that`s not the only thing where gnome-user-share depends on.. here is the full list (that would be if you only install fedora with the pure basics) everything in the list below that`s depends on httpd can be removed if (obviously) httpd wasn`t installed. and those are: atleast 5 rpms.

Is it possible? It looks like it currently calls the httpd binary using a config file in /usr/share/gnome-user-share/. It looks like all it uses from the httpd package is the binary, but the config isn't split out into a separate RPM. You could take it up with the Apache maintainer. The thing is, then what happens when I wan to set up a host as a web server? I install httpd, move files to /var/www/html/foo and fire it up, and nothing works. Maybe move the httpd binary to httpd-something and keep the rest in httpd, with the config, then change the g-u-s R to httpd-something.
