Yes, GTK a11y initialisation is done using the GTK_MODULES envvar, that's why gaim, gimp etc are accessible. Only bonobo specific a11y is initialized in gnome_program_init() but that's not a problem for apps that do not use bonoboui.
If any gnome-dependencies are still needed by the nautilus plugin which is in the g-s-t package they could be added to Recommends: so they do not install if only the apps are used (for example in xfce) but not the plugin. -- build with --disable-gnome https://launchpad.net/bugs/88463 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
