Yes, you can't expect dlopen()'ing an arbitrary library or application
to work. ;-) There can be all sorts of stuff that gets set up that
depends on the lib/app code remaining loaded into the process.

I would imagine there are literally several thousand aspects of
glib/gtk/gnome-libs that break if you unload the library. They just
aren't designed for it.
