The Gnome target is optional. If you find it annoying, you can still build
the generic unix target (which is still the default anyway), which only
uses GTK+ (and some other common libraries).
I don't understand why you are having problems, or why you are concerned
that AbiWord has been ported to another "platform" (ie. gnome). You are
more than welcome to port to Qt/KDE, as well...
