Two questions:
1) Is it intended that it will build right if GTK is there but Gnome
isnt?
Yes, it will.
2) If Gnome *is* present, what additional features/etc, if any, does
that
get you?
You will be able to use all the gnome widgets from lisp, you get GNOME
session management, and the main window of XEmacs is a GnomeApp, so you get
a detachable and dockable menubar (no toolbar yet, the way XEmacs handles
these is just a little too weird for that to work, but I've been trying to
find a hack around this since I got toolbars working).
It is fun working in a XEmacs with the menubar on the bottom of the
frame. :) Distracting, but fun.
You will still get a detachable menubar if you build without GNOME, but you
can just detach it, you cannot dock it at the bottom of the window.
