As the complete functional parts of GTK require a space of about 10meg (
here Solaris, correct me please.), the libnano-GDK.so wouldn't be used on
a system with memory restrictions, I think. And if there would be enough
space for GTK, them X would be used.
So, after think sometime about it, nano-X shouldn't bother about GDK, just
try to make a possible port easy ...
