This is a strict requirement for Wireshark !
Alternatively, we can just compile tshark, but even then
"vendor" lockin will show up.

Thats not a helpful conclusion since that means every user has
to slave-install gnome, just because (s)he wants to install
wireshark !
Try to pull in the binary version of GTK+ from the repository.
You'd know best the steps how to do it.
Meanwhile, i'll try this out as i'm on a clean Qt/KDE system.
i'm going to compile from the source code of glib, gtk, atk,
pango, cairo.
The dependency tree looks "something" like this
cairo
+- openGL
+- libspectre
+- ghostscript8
+- gtk+
+- pango -+
+- atk --+
|
+- glib
+- libpng
+- libjpeg
etc.
all these guys would require pkgconfig utility as well.
Ok, so lets get to some work.
thanks
Saifi.
