They're GTK+ apps running on Windows and OS X, not Windows apps, or OSX
apps.

But the claim was that GTK+is the GNOME toolkit, somehow inexorably tied to the GNOME desktop. Such examples demonstrate the most obvious weakness of this way of thinking: these are GTK+ apps that run in a variety of DE's and on a variety of platforms. Not GNOME apps.
