Ubuntu is not based on Gnome.  Ubuntu uses gnome as the default desktop 
environment for a desktop install CD. If you install a minimal 
command-line install of Ubuntu, there will be no trace of Gnome 
whatsoever, but it is still Ubuntu.  Similarly, the GTK toolkit itself 
predates Gnome, and an application being GTK does not make it part of 
Gnome (though they may have several shared dependancies.)  A Kubuntu 
install, however, won't even have any of those.

You are perhaps confusing gnome with GNU.
