GTK is OK. Don't cut off the arm because of a bad finger. GNOME was built by
many people, not just one person. It's still possible to mend GNOME by
informing some developers of the implications of Mono (just intelligence on
Microsoft mainly). In fact, some leaders of GNOME read my site and already
give Miguel a lot of flak. GNOME is still not inherently /dependent/ on Mono,
so it can be stopped before getting there.
