Might be overstating things a little here. On my PC gtk+, gdk and glib
libraries add up to just under 2Mb, OK so that's 4Mb of Yopy's memory
taken up. Agreed that GTK needs to be a little smaller - but having it
on an embedded device would give you access to so many great GPL'd
applications it would be worth the memory hit. After all - how many
W-toolkit programs are out there? 

BTW - if people want to get an embedded GTK thing going would it be
possible to get a mailing list set up for it so we can discuss what
platform we want to port to and actually start coding?
