According to the FAQ, you use gtkmm for the GUI tools. Since this is not shipped
with either GNOME or KDE AFAIK, I don't think the GNOME/KDE developers will
accept it unless the dependancies are changed.

Also, you state that you need a UNIX-like operating system. Do you realise that
GNOME is run on such UNIXes such as Solaris? Will this server run on such
UNIXes?
