[Bug 43004] Re: Gaim dotfiles location

[Luke Schierer]

We used to have such an option.  I'd argue that some of sean's changes, such as the proxy prefs, belong under such an option.  But that's unrelated to this bug.

Seriously, recall your history here Marcin, Gtk stands for GIMP Took Kit, not GNOME Tool Kit.  We don't like against libgnome type stuff, we don't use gconf.  We don't follow all of the GNOME HIG, we don't take violations of the GNOME HIG as being sufficient reason to change something.  We don't use gnome resources, and half of gnome's developers hate us.  

Of the libraries you've listed, the only one we are really tied to is glib, there HAS existed a qt/qpe interface to an early pull from the 2.0.0 cvs, there DOES exist a OSX interface to gaim.  the Gtk+ interface just happens to be, for now, the only one we work on directly and distribute.

Your assertion is equivalent to stating that LICQ must be a kde appliation just because it used QT.  No one could seriously make such an assertion, LICQ is very different from your standard KDE application.  It is the same with gaim, we happen to use Gtk+, but we are very much our own project, not a GNOME application.
