Yes, that's part of the discussion we had with the pkg-config maintainer, and that's what he suggests indeed. However, Gdk includes Pango, which in turn includes Xft, Freetype; Gdk also includes cairo, which in turn includes Fontconfig and Freetype, etc. I suppose that would make these libs public dependencies of Gdk too, following the same logic. I think I'm going to let this change be blocked by the pkg-config change I pointed at, until then it wouldn't be wise to introduce build failures. The best thing I wish is that someone with experience in ABI / API handling, pkg-config, and shared libraries in general writes a guide to handle situations such has: 1/ how to check a .la file is correct 2/ what to put in .pc files.
