There are even some people around who do not like any desktop
environment at all and use a plain old window manager (like me, I use
Motif mwm).

IMHO it would be a good idea to use a library which is widely spread
(preferredly for several OSs), available as open source and can fulfill
all needs there are for a proper GUI. I think there are always nice
guys who create binary packages for people who don´t have the according
shared libs or development packs.

But I hate these applications which seem to run, but only run properly,
if you have this whole big DE installed and running, and otherwise
throw strange errors.There should be no dependency to any DE.

Maybe a good choice would be an overlying API like WxWindows (just an
example, http://www.wxwindows.org), which may use several underlying
toolkits (Gtk, Motif, ...) and compiles on several platforms.
