As it is there's very little dependence on any g[dt]k in libgeda. One
of these is on GdkPixbuf in PICTURE (which is one reason I'm working
on opaquifying the object states [1]).
I'm not as opposed to having libgeda rely on GObject (in fact, I
actively want that - for change notifications) as to having it rely on
GTK, especially when that dependence now seems a bit gratuitous. (It
looks gratuitous because it's actually the *leftovers* from a lot of
good interface splitting that has occurred.)
[1] The other reason is that while some live on the bleeding edge of
hardware, I tend to live on the coagulating edge, and having to
#include <gtk/gtk.h> for EVERY file in libgeda hurts. Same goes for
<libguile/libguile.h> but that looks harder to avoid.
