The package names are pretty similar in ports VS. linuxs' package
magagement right even though I could totally out of whack here. If the
first statement holds though, wouldn't it imply that the binary
dependencies among Gnome/Gtk libs are more tightly coupled than KDE/Qt
libs (i.e, the KDE vs. Gnome) and that?

True :)
