I'm not sure why you think gamin/fam == GNOME. libgamin is a libfam

Fair enough, but it has in my experience come along for the ride.  I use
gnome on desktop machines, and was trying to keep my trac/svn server
minimal.

I think my real beef is with upstream glib as it seems like something
which shouldn't have this sort of dependency.

Give me a break. If libgamin was part of glib you wouldn't have even noticed.
