        Yes, this is a function of the GUI / non-GUI split.

        libgnome is entirely non-GUI code, you don't need X for it. Gtk+  
is entirely GUI code, you do need X for it. If by initializing libgnome,  
you require [ and initialize ] Gtk+, you have added a redundant GUI
dependency into libgnome.

        If you want the GUI dependency, hopefuly a libgnomeui type init   
will solve the problem for you I hope.

        Regards,
 
                Michael.
