We must realize that we are on a slippery slope towards Gnome-dependency.
We've already left the non-Gnome print dialog in the dust (is it likely to
be updated, ever?), and now we require at least pieces of gnome-libs to
compile. Next it'll be the entire gnome-libs, and then we might as well go
fully Gnome.
Mind you, I don't care much whether we go Gnome or not, but Alex originally
made a point of having Dia not be Gnome-dependent. If we go much further
towards Gnome, we should embrace it openly and reap the full benefits. If
not, we shall make sure that you can use it without Gnome. Using half of
Gnome gives us the problems of requiring Gnome installs without the
benefits of Gnome.
