Is this true, or is it just because no-one's ever asked? I don't see any
reason why a gtkmm app like glom couldn't be considered for the desktop
- I wasn't aware any gtkmm apps had actually asked to be incuded in the
core desktop release.

That's an interesting question - put another way, should the desktop
depend on the bindings? I certainly wouldn't have a problem with that -
although making GNOME depend on Mono is an issue which would give me
more pause than making it depend on gtkmm.

Cheers,
Dave.
