But you may need to install both qt4 and gtk support! Your system may be 
a multi-user system with one user using Gnome and the other user KDE. 
This is the reason why three packages are needed.

As for gb.desktop, I will allow to check gb.desktop.gnome explicitely. 
Because actually the need of gb.desktop.gnome does not necessarily mean 
that the project must use gb.gtk: a project can use gb.qt4, and will 
need gb.desktop.gnome when run on a gnome desktop.

Hopefully, gb.desktop.gnome is there just because Gnome 2 has no 
command-line tool to store passwords. As Gnome 2 is deprecated (and its 
keyring system), I think gb.desktop.gnome will disappear soon.
