For 1.2 this won't be really true, but only because of lack of development time to handle the changes. Is there serious concern here that user's will NOT want a GNOME-enabled Gimp in 2001 or 2002 when the 1.3 series might reasonably be expected to conclude with a new stable release? I suppose we might conclude that vendors will ship only KDE, in which case maybe those wacky Qt people will show up again and threaten to code a replacement Kim*g*sh*p if we won't re-write Gimp in C++ :) Which reminds me, we were supposed to be separating the core from the UI in the 1.3.x devel series, so maybe then everyone will have a better opportunity to evaluate the dependencies of Gimp. But - back to 1.1.x coding! Nick.
