I'm exaggerating a bit in order to make a point.  I'm an Open Source software
developer (http://www.orasoft.org) who has chosen to use Gtk as my widget set. 
In the latest incarnation of our flagship product, ObjectManager 2.0, I found
myself having to include chunks of the Gnome code in my app so that I could use
the neat-o widgets without forcing -lgnome on my users.  Add to that Havoc's
comment that not wanting -lgnome was some sort of "complex".  I'd love to see
the Gnome widgets get into Gtk, but I think that they should have started
there.  Which is the toolkit and which is the environment?
