Very True. I get warm fuzzies when I look at the millions of direct download stats for AbiWord on sourceforge. Most of the direct downloads come from Windows users. But a large fraction of our developer strength is in Linux/GNOME. We have these sort of dependency arguments in AbiWord frequently too. But the bottom line is, with a good Windows installer (we use the NSIS installer ) it's not that hard to package up what you need for Windows. We also have the luxury of having a GTK-only build as well as a GNOME build which provides the full bloat^H^H^H^H^H power of the GNOME desktop to the user.
Our aim is to steal lots of that experience from you :)
I suspect that at some point you'll also have to address the question of whether you want inkscape to be gtk-only or have GNOME (and/or GNOME-Office) integration. (Or even KDE integration given the way things are going on the inter-op front.)

From the GNOME-Office perspective we're very interested in your ideas for a SVG rendering lib and ...
what's wrong with librsvg?
