You seem to believe that there's nothing in common between a gnome and a 
gtk+ application. This is a very wrong assumption : gtk+ is the toolkit 
in both cases ; being gnome just means :
(a) using some more convenience libraries
(b) following some guidelines

For (a), you have to know about the Ridley project, which intends to 
push some things from gnome libraries into gtk+ itself (GtkAssistant and 
GtkStatusIcon come to mind), which means gnome applications will have 
even more in common with gtk+ applications !

For (b), notice that following the guidelines doesn't force us to have 
gnome dependancies!

All in all, as I already explained, we already have both Damien's 
choices (1) and (2), and we already paid the cost of migrating from a 
pure gnome to a more generic application.

Things look brighter in my eye :-)
