libgnome brings in some unwanted dependencies if you want to keep a 'pure' GTK system:
Depends On : gnome-vfs>=2.24.0 esd>=0.2.40 libbonobo>=2.24.0

Additional info:
Package version is 0.9.6-3

When I build it without libgnome, it doesn't even start. It just seg faults. I'll need to look further.
Comment by Daniel Rhodes-Mumby (DanielRM) - Saturday, 21 March 2009, 12:05 GMT
I find that the same happens.
Segfault output is here: http://pastebin.com/f184417a3
The output of a grep for gtype is here: http://pastebin.com/f6f2fd238

Is there anything I can do to help given a lack of coding knowledge on my part?

Upstream.
In src/main.cc, line 101 gtk_window_set_default_icon_from_file() is called before gtk_init().
Patch attached.

[ 1709238 ] segfault - 2007-04-28 13:52

The development (if any) seems to proceed rather slowly.

There's only a patch for GLib-GObject-CRITICAL I'll see if it will fix the seg fault. BTW, it seems that building without libgnome remove the help manual completely. So I'm not sure if I'll do this even if I fix the seg fault. We'll see.
Comment by Alessandro Doro (adoroo) - Saturday, 21 March 2009, 18:35 GMT
IMO the package needs the manual; there isn't online documentation in the web site.
Comment by Eric Belanger (Snowman) - Saturday, 21 March 2009, 18:37 GMT
The patch fixes the seg faults but the help manual is not built without libgnome. As the manual is the only piece of doc provided, I'll keep the libgnome depends. Having libgnome as makedepends dosn't work either.
