I think we all need to realize there are differences between gtk as a toolkit and gnome as a desktop environment and what constitutes a reasonable "requirement" to have a strong relationship which forces one to install a gnome dep for an app which is supposed to be gtk based and desktop agnostic. If the app is not truly desktop agnostic, I would understand, but it is supposed to be.

Perhaps some meta package magic would help. For a gnome desktop experience, seeding a meta package in the gnome-desktop (or similar) to pull in the extra bits seems much better than cramming everything down the pipe to users of Xfce, KDE, etc.

Only my 2 cents though as an observer.
