On Linux there are tendencies to get rid of GTK. You might have heard
that Razor-Qt and LXDE folks are working on LXDE-Qt.

I still stay with Xfce, but even try to get rid of it, to switch away
from as much GTK dependent software as possible.

As a Linux user I don't have the impression that GNOME upstream is
interested in anything, just a subjective impression.
