The Linux Standard Base should not deal with GUI components for now. In a sense GUI is not in the same dimension as the C library and file system layout. GUI sits above X Windows, which is a standard for all Unix systems. Thus GUI issues are not Linux specific but common to all Unix systems (or at least free ones). Desktop standardization efforts can be addressed in a kernel-independent manner. Also maybe it is better to wait until the desktop war settles, or GNOME and KDE may themselves work out issues of standard protocols, etc.
Maybe requiring the presence of gtk is good, but that just guarantees some minimal platform support. Getting into desktop issues is hot water that may not be benefital.
