Correct. And a flag that it doesn't work with some major system feature
(like GUI) is a task for the package system, and not the application.

IOW, IMHO in such case Debian or Ubuntu should specify how to flag our
debian packages for non-Unity conformance so that non X using Debian spins
can pick this up.
