You're right, it isn't. But nevertheless there is a difference: These libraries are basic GNU/Hurd libraries. You will have them installed anyway. libbonobo, on the other hand, is something GNOME-specific. > And linking against libbonobo is only useful for a GNOME program. > > If libbonobo provides features that can be used by a non-GNOME > program, then this isn't true. But I don't know exactly what > libbonobo does so... It's not only libbonobo itself. libbonobo depends on some basic GNOME libraries.
