I think the basic argument is that libpng and libz, for instance, provide
functionality that KDE doesn't already have, whereas glib duplicates
functionality that KDE *does* already have.
There is also the underlying feeling in some people's minds, (if I may be
allowed to mind read for a minute :-), that more and more little requirements
are being proposed for or added to KDE, even though they aren't of a direct
benefit to KDE itself, but to underlying desktop compatibility; (DBus versus
DCOP springs to mind). Some people thinks this is a good idea and some don't.
Personally, for now, I'm just watching things with interest to see how they
go (and practising my mind reading ;-)
Cheers,
Sean
