Re: [Gimp-developer] Writing a totally different UI for GIMP

[Bill Skaggs <weskaggs gmail com>]

The GIMP codebase rigorously separates the UI from the image-manipulation
engine, so there is a lot of it you could in principle use.  The engine
relies on glib and glib-object, but only the UI parts make use of gdk and
gtk.
