Representing something so complex in 2D ascii art is doomed to failure,
I'm sure, but two little points:
1) gnome-libs doesn't depend on gnome-dom (I'm fairly sure)
2) gnome-objc depends on gnome-libs

I don't think many (if any) applications depend on gnome-core, and not all
the applications depend on all of the utility modules (for instance ee
does not depend on gnome-xml), but that the limitations of the media, I
think.
