Actually this is rep-gtk's fault, since rep-gtk-gnome has been merged
into it. Sawfish doesn't use any of the gnome features from rep-gtk,
it's plain GTK.
IMO rep-gtk should be split back into rep-gtk and rep-gtk-gnome, so
that people who want to do GTK stuff in rep aren't forced to install
the entire GNOME2 Development Platform.
I'll file a bug to that effect.
