Sure, this will mean that in fedora packages, the glade core will require
all the gnome lib dependancies, if you were to make a separate package
for libgladegnome.so & its pixmaps/catalog file - then only the gnome
plugin would require the gnome lib dependancies.

in the end I dont think this matters at the moment since I am sure
there are lots of remaining programs still linking to libgnomeui and friends,
just pointing out that libgnomeui/bonono etc is technically unneeded to run
glade (only needed to edit glade files that use widgets from those libs).

That is correct.
