I don't know if you're talking about gtk 1 or 2, I don't have gtk1 
installed but gtk2 is always one of the first package i build when I 
create a linux from scratch, so many things depend on it.

I never had any issues using gnome without qt, yet I had plenty using 
KDE without gtk. Its just a matter of what software you build, I usually 
don't like the feel of KDE applications, its a matter of preferences there.

I agree that gnome being coded in C is plain ugly in the code, but the 
results are still very convenient to use. Oh and I know gtk != gnome, 
but its been a while since it left gimp to become part of the gnome set 
of libraries.
