This is not true. XUL uses G_D_K for drawing, and G_T_K only if you
have the mozilla theme set to the GTK theme. (which has only been pos-
sible in debian for not to long).
The GTK dependency you're seeing comes from gecko, which uses GTK to
draw _some_ widgets, like scrollbars in the gecko window.
