Err, perhaps people dont understand which part of GNOME GLAME is using
- GLAME solely uses libgnomeui libgnome and libgnomesupport, it doesnt
depend on using GNOME as desktop.
I think that's a common confusion -- a lot of people seem to confuse
running a Gnome application with having to run a Gnome desktop, and it
just ain't the same at all. The Gnome libs are under 100 MB, so it's
really not that big a deal.

libgnomeui provides the canvas widget which is very nice, and stuff
for common message/error dialogs. Also automated menu and toolbar
management.
libgnome (or gnomesupport, dont know) provides a way to store application
config stuff, also I think the gnome help functionality is hooked there.
Lots of very nice, easy to use stuff there.
