And to paraphrase what I wrote in a previous message, there is nothing wrong in having an _optional_ dependency on GNOME just like we have an _optional_ dependency on Gtk-Perl and other Perl stuff. The best solution IMHO would be to use the GNOME help browser if it is available and to revert to a standard web browser if the GNOME libs are not installed. This would allow the GIMP to benefit from whatever nice features the GNOME help browser might have in the future, while still allowing GNOME-less people to look at the help files in Netscape or Opera or Lynx or ... -Raphael
