Heh. :) Thats not really an answer ...

Well, obviously, we disagree about that.
In Ardour's case, I can explain why I use every single library (and in
fact, there are only 24 libraries that would not be present on any X
Window configured Linux system :)
=== Library Dependencies for the GTK version of Ardour ===============

======================================================================
If you have any suggestion on how to reduce the library set, or
improve on the functionality offered by each part, or package Ardour
for easier compilation, or whatever, I'd love to hear about it. And
I'm not being sarcastic.
I don't dislike GNOME because its big. I dislike it because it doesn't
seem to me to offer anything to the kind of programs we are writing.
Can you point to the functionality that GNOME provides for glame?
