GTK
GTK

New embedded and portable windowing system, client/server interface between display hardware (mouse, keyboard, video displays) and the desktop environment that works on many hardware, including embedded devices (handhelds, set-top boxes, etc.) has been released by Xynth.
They say "The name Xynth comes from the coordinate system, which is the heart of the Xynth Windowing System design. Xynth is a LGPL licensed free software project. It aims to provide a lightweight GUI supported windowing system for Linux-based and/or real-time embedded systems." The project's range is embedded systems to desktops. It might be a good choice for embedded systems.

You can't because gnome

You can't because gnome needs Xlib calls.
You have to port these calls to Xynth. Gtk port of Xynth is to run pure gtk programs like xchat, gqview, gimp etc.
