Also, on a related note, while preparing glotski for upload, I noticed that it was linking in unnecessary libraries by blindly passing the output of `pkg-config libgnomeui-2.0 --libs` to the linker. The resulting binary depended on a lot of libraries that it didn't actually use. Adding '-Wl,--as-needed' to the link line got rid of the unnecessary dependencies. Just thought this tidbit might be helpful to people who want to clean up spurious package dependencies.
