Hi,

I don't know about gthumb but gnome-calculator, devhelp, gedit and totem are 
Gnome apps. _IF_ Gnome devs want to make an isolated DE, it'll be logical not 
to use their apps outside Gnome. Here, the problem is GTK3 itself: GTK3 is NOT 
supposed to be a Gnome-specific toolkit. GTK-3.12 was starting to be so and all 
I say is that apparently GTK-3.14 isn't.

So, please tell us if you know of any GTK3 app that has this problem and is 
not specific to Gnome. I can't give more examples because I have no reason to 
use more GTK3 apps. gthumb may be a case. We'll need more examples if we want 
to prove our point clearly.
