I'm afraid the display is definitely dependant on gnome, since it
is based in gnome_canvas and that's one of the reasons I've
managed to produce this program quite fast.

On the other hand, I'm taking care to separate the capturing
and the display side of things, so that anybody willing to
produce a different interface would only have to do that.

I don't like to be dependant on so high level libraries either,
but right now there are no other options (until some nice
programmer decides to give it a try!).

Juan.
