Is it ok for me to implament a patch with the above proposed solution?
Would it work, and would you accept it? If so, Ill start to work right
away.

Also, I found out a little while ago that libgnome is console based and
libgnomeui is X based. After I create the gnorba patch, could gnome-libs
be broken up into:
gnome-libs-c
with libgnome and libgnorba and anything else console based.

and 
gnome-libs-x
with libgnomeui and any other X stuff.
?

That way, if you want to use console gnome stuff, you dont have to worry
about X related stuff.
