[Bug 43004] Re: Gaim dotfiles location

[Mark Doliner]

As Luke said, Gaim is not a Gnome application.  It DOES use the Gtk+ graphics library, but we don't interface with Gnome in any way.  You can run Gaim perfectly fine in KDE--there is no need for a QT-based version of Gaim (unless you just want it to look a little more seamless).

I don't think any of the libraries you listed are actually a part of Gnome.  They can be used just as effectively in KDE, or even without a desktop environment.

As for interfacing with Gnome... we could add a "--with-gnome" configure option, and add features that benefit users using Gnome, but we haven't had a strong need or desire to do that.
