It did not only seem to be like that, that's exactly what had happened. XMMS, OpenOffice.org and Mozilla are often seen as being under the umbrella of the GNOME project, but the only real connection to GNOME was the common use of the gtk toolkit, where the "g" does *not* stand for GNOME but for gimp.

Bundling is the correct term.

The "G" in GIMP yes, but not the "G" in Gtk+. :-)

I thought that openoffice has its own toolkit and thats why its slow. Mozilla prior to 1.5 also did that, didn't it ?

Most gtk apps load very quickly - why then do OO & mozilla load so slowly even today ?
