Because gtk+ is not just gnome. Gtk+ is also maemo. Gtk+ is also xfce.
Gtk+ is also a possible choice for embedded apps on phones, pdas, and
stuff like that. Gtk+ is also a library for very simple apps, where
very tight desktop integration does not make sense.
As much as I think a gconf dependency would be a good thing for gtk+, gtk+
is a widget library, not a library for tight integration.
Just my 2 cents anyway.
