Well, I don't remember if I was involved in that, but if we don't want the 
scriptlet to fail and don't want to display the error output (no matter 
whether it's because of a missing executable or some other error running it), 
dunno if checking first adds any value.

Not adding the dependency is there because it'd pull in GTK to non-GTK setups 
for no gain.  This is fine and should be preserved, but actually, I think the 
snippet/guideline should be changed so that the Requires(post) and 
Requires(postun) dependencies *should* be added in cases where the packaged 
app requires GTK itself anyway, and left out just like currently if it 
doesn't.  Opinions?
