==Goal of Creating a Headless Inkscape==

Definition: An Inkscape version that does not need to be linked to the GTK libraries. Glib and Gio dependencies are OK.

===GTK Dependencies===

All GTK dependent files should be in ''src/ui''. (Note, not all directories in src/ui are dependent on GTK.)

Directories that contain GTK code outside of ''src/ui'':

* testing/unittest.cpp (should probably be glibmm.h)

* src
** ege-color-prof-tracker.cpp (move to src/ui)
** selection-chemistry.cpp (for clipboard)
** shortcuts.cpp (GtkAccelGroup, GtkWidget, should be split/moved to src/ui)
** inkscape-window.h/.cpp (OK... maybe move to ''src/ui'')
** inkview-application.h/.cpp (OK, will be replaced for headless version)
** file.cpp (to be removed)
** device-manager.cpp (move to ui)
** inkscape.h/.cpp (to be removed)
** verbs.cpp (filechooserdialog.h, messagedialog.h, to be removed)
** file-update.cpp (ask user about DPI update, not sure what to do about this one)
** desktop-events.cpp (move to ui)
** event-log.h (move to ui)

* src/display (probably OK)
* src/libnrtype (for font-lister.h/font-lister.cpp, should move to ui)
* src/debug (log-display-config.cpp)
* src/trace (tracing dialog should be split out and moved to ui)
* src/io (gtkmm/recentmanager.h, could be removed... used to locate previously used directories to search for broken links)
* src/live_effects (This is a tough one, used everywhere. Probably UI needs to be split out.)
* src/extension (Another tough one. UI needs to be split out.)
* src/object (sp-namedview.cpp: to restore window geometry, function should be moved to ui; sp-image.cpp and color-profile.css: debug only, should be removed.)
* helper (action.cpp, verb-action.h/.cpp: GTK button for verb, unneeded with Gio::Actions.)

There are surely many "indirect" dependencies on GTK that need to be tracked down.
