Not really? > As Owen said in a recent GTK+ meeting, when looking over the list of APIs that we are discussing here, there are basically three categories: > A) Cross-platform API - things that make sense on Windows / OS X > B) X / freedesktop.org-specific API > C) GNOME-specific API > APIs in category A. are clearly suitable for moving to GTK+, APIs in category B. may or may not be suitable, and things in category C. are better off in a GNOME-specific library. So even back then the official stance was that GNOME specific stuff belongs in external libs.
