I'm an old X11R5/Motif programmer, so I wanted to see what a typical gnome
application linked to.  I built "gnome-hello" then ran lsbdepgraph.py to
graphically see the dependencies.

Is the dependency bloat a good think or a bad thing?  :-)  How does this
impact/influence freedesktop.org in trying to define a core desktop?  Where
should the specification team start (ie., a non-gnome gtk application
[libglib, libgtk])?

Best regards,

George (gk4)
