Actually, I've been thinking about this problem lately. Why don't people use dlopen() more often? If you use a library in your app which is not intrinsically essential to it (like gtk+ is) why are you linking to it at load time? In general I think GUI apps should be designed to load up as fast as possible, lazily loading and processing as much as possible. In this specific library case, since the API is so simple and you don't know you need it until you somehow check your app's settings it's a no-brainer really.
