I'm sorry to tell you, but although I'm trying to compile gnome from
time to time I don't use any application that DEPENDS on GNOME and
I'm really happy about that....

gnome-print depends on gnome-libs, doesn't it? At least I can't
compile it right now without it. That would mean that we have to
additionally link at least against gnome-print, gnome-libs,
libart_lgpl, gnome-xml, gconf, ORBIT...
Hm, seems well worth the effort... :)) Maybe there could be a plugin
that integrates well into GNOME but you wouldn't want to make the whole
GIMP depend on it, would you?
I prefer a print plugin that works without gnome...
