You have not read the remark carefully. Why would you want to program such a
tool with a desktop library (note: KDE isn't just any old toolkit)? Gnome
users aren't going to be too happy that they have to install qt for their
administrative tools to work. That doesn't seem very fair.
Personally, I also think that Gtk is pretty lightweight, as shown:
glee@anakin ~ $ rpm -qi libglib1.2 libgtk+1.2 | grep Size | awk '{x+=$3} END {print
x/(1024**2)}'
1.90114
glee@anakin ~ $
2 MB for a very easy-to-program and complete toolkit.
Regarding the offending library (gtk/glib), currently we use usermode (from rh)
and in GUI this requires gtk. So you end up having to install gtk anyway.
