You can hardly compare glib usage with gecko usage seriously. glib is a very
thing layer on top of what C offers. 

I have nothing against requiring glib actually. When I see the tons of duplicated
stuff in the arts module it shudders me. 

If KDE is about practical solutions prefered over political solutions, then requiring
glib is the correct thing. Please look into what glib provides before you make your
assumptions.
