GObject is the core object system used by GLib and GTK+.
GLib is a set of core libraries for use by applications (things like hash tables, main loops, file parsers, etc).
GTK+ is a widget toolkit (which uses GLib).

libpurple depends on GLib not GTK+ and as such has no dependency on X
(which is why the console libpurple client finch can exist).

I'd be more than happy to continue any discussions in this direction but
they should probably take place somewhere other than lua-l.
