I'm not quite sure what you mean by disentangling it from GTK. I can tell you that a major selling point of the 29 release is that the GUI is more entangled with GTK. Specifically, by removing all X11 code and using only GTK, Wayland will have native support, instead of requiring an additional X server as a shim between the two.
