 That's correct.  Anything built for gtk2 will require extra things added to DSL.  Anything built for gtk1.2 has a chance of working in DSL without additional dependencies. However, every application has its own needs, many of which may not be in DSL.  Just because it's a gtk1.2 app does not automatically mean it will run in DSL without extra support files....gtk is basically just its user interface.
