CVS to gnome.org.

I wonder if gcmd has to be seen as 'gnome app'. 
I mean, gcmd is running very well outside of any gnome session, and
Gnome has Nautilus anyway.

Perhaps gcmd could profit from becoming a 'independent' tool.
As virtual government-desktop-cluster-installation admin, i'd put
'standard apps' on board to let people with unpredictable linux
experience have some simple tools they may be familiar with, even if
they may not often use them - like xterm, top, or telnet.  A smart
'extensible filemanager' could add well to the collection. If you think
of sylpheed, it started as laughable gtk-1 mailer but it has become not
only quite mature, but very featureful, and it is very widespread today.
And it's still gtk-1, works with plugins, and offers interfaces to user
script actions.  

btw. the GNUStep desktop environment lacks any usable filemanager
AFAICS.

What would you say, is gmcd really gnome specific ?

Dependencies of 1.0.1 are

gdk-imlib1
libart2
libaudiofile0
libc6 
libdb3
libesd0
libesd-alsa0

Would the deps urge me to install more of Gnome, even if i don't
like to ?
