In my experience, unless you choose one of the minimalist window managers and are very selective about what you install, GTK 2 might as well be part of X. x11/xorg, with default options, pulls in 90% of GTK 2 dependencies via sysutils/hal and avoiding the rest means no firefox, which alone is probably a dealbreaker for most people. I personally like Ade's suggestion, since it makes a gui opt-in for an application that functions perfectly well without one. -- Rob Farmer
