Yes I can guess why.

glade uses the standard autotools PKG_CHECK_MODULES to
get the linker and compiler flags, this will pull in pango/cairo/gthread.

libgladeui probably doesnt make direct calls to apis in these libraries,
and they are implied by pulling in gtk and gdk anyway - rpmlint probably
sees that we dont make direct calls to apis in these libraries and thus
sees them as useless dependancies (but ofcourse they need to be there
for gtk+ to function properly anyway).
