I dunno .. I'm pretty bad with words, though there are a whole bunch of libs in
gnome-libs

so you might do something like

libgnome: general utility toolkit independent libraries
libgnomeui: toolkit dependent utility/app framework UI library
.... others are more special use libraries which could be covered in other
areas ... (plus my brain does not register more then 2 or three names so
I actually truly don't remember their names ..... :) ... it must be all
that drain bamage I suffered while working on windows a few years back...
