16 I don't think it's about gnome or not gnome myself. I have a concern that this
17 is three extra deps for something I'll probably never see. From the hot
18 tempers on both sides over this, it almost sounds like you're happy to give
19 out a gnome dep for spite, although I'm sure that's not the case, though
20 casual observance makes me wonder. I think had this been non-gnome/kde issue
21 it would have never had the deps applied, and properly been marked upstream,
22 as its a fault in gtk+ packaging for not providing the support for its file
23 chooser.
