Here's some amunition for the anti-Gnome crusade:

(Stupid mozilla likes to force line wrapping)
lame is the "hello world" Gnome application which opens a window with two buttons. unlame is a GTK app that opens up a window with one button (ooh, big difference!!!). As you can see, the Gnome application is much larger becuase it has to load all of the Gnome libraries (that hopefully nothing on my system is using). Anyone who doesn't care about 500k can piss off.
