Absolutely.  This the Gnome 1.4 extra app release.  With a few
exceptions (like the gimp which is just a no-brainer for inclusion),
all the apps should be Gnome specific, not just GTK+ apps.  In
addition, they should not use forked libraries, but rather the endorsed
Gnome 1.4 Platform.  This is a requirement for inclusion in my mind,
and I think others will back me up.

I wear my shadows
Where they're harder to see
But they follow me everywhere
I guess that should tell me I'm travelling toward light
