Funny. Software authors in general don't seem to have a problem
listing what their software specifically requires. Just the GNOME folk.
And, oddly, amnesia seems to set in right around the time an existing
GTK application is recharacterised as a GNOME one. At which point,
we're advised "Just install GNOME."
(Note: I did not say "_package_ dependencies".)
