Sorry, I was wrong about that. It does not just run. Bonobo would have
to be disabled at compile time. But then I think some things wouldn't
work for apps that use bonobo.

It would still be nice if it would not depend on GNOME libs, especially
as it is meant to be used primarily in the KDE desktop. Also bonobo is
deprecated by GNOME. So if there's a simple way to make it optional,
please do so. Otherwise it's probably not worth the trouble and we have
to just wait until bonobo dies out.

Cheers,
harry

Bug#541451: gtk-qt-engine: Don't depend on GNOME libs

[Harald Braumann]

Package: gtk-qt-engine
Version: 1:1.1+svn5-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

The package now depends on bonobo which pulls in a lot of GNOME dependencies,
which is a nuisance on non-GNOME system.

As gtk-qt-engine runs just fine without bonobo, it should not depend on it
but only recommend it.

I dont have either libbonobo2-0 or libbonoboui2-0 installed and forced the
installation of gtk-qt-engine. It outputs a warning 

  (gqview:2415): Gtk-WARNING **: libbonoboui-2.so.0: cannot open shared 
  object file: No such file or directory

but besides that runs without problems, so far.

Cheers,
harry
