Hi, > I don't know about gthumb but gnome-calculator, devhelp, gedit and totem are > Gnome apps.
Yes, they come from Gnome project but that doesn't mean that the users of other desktop environments don't use them. - gthumb is a nice image viewer, it's been around for a long time and there are people that prefer to use it even if they don't use Gnome. - devhelp is used by developers who write apps using GLib and GTK+, and these are not necessarily Gnome developers. Think Xfce, LXDE, MATE, Cinnamon... - gedit is a simple and convenient text editor with the support for plugins, and again, it's used in other DEs as well. More examples that I didn't mention earlier: - evince - used for PDF viewing in other DEs as well. - gnome-disks - I'm not sure this one even has any competitors (only gsmartcontrol, maybe?). A must have tool if you want to know the state of your hard drive(s). - baobab - disk usage analyzer, very convenient if you want to know which folders took up all the place on your hard drive :) Any competitors? (except for MATE's fork of baobab itself) Please don't forget that not all the DEs are as complete as Gnome or KDE. Not every DE developers can afford to have their own video player, image viewer, PDF viewer, disk utility and so on, so they have to rely on Gnome apps sometimes. Think of Xfce and LXDE. Think also of Cinnamon which is a fork of Gnome Shell and historically had to make use of Gnome apps. Last but not least, think of the simple window managers, e.g. WindowMaker, which Matti Hamalainen (the reporter of this bug) does use.
