For me personally, it's not the libraries - I wouldn't mind having to
install all of Gnome's libraries, I have enough disk space for that.
The problem is the daemons.  Gnome and KDE start daemons from the
libraries behind your back.  So when you start a GUI program for some
trivial task, like a calculator, even if you don't use the visual parts
of the desktop, if it's linked to the Gnome libraries it will start a
daemon.

And if "configuration handlers" includes gconfd - no thanks.
