GTK4 is an option in the port [1] from which the precompiled package was built from. You could turn the dependency off if you were compiling the package yourself. Yet this is a default option, and thus the project package has got the dependency in. I would assume it is on to have the single package cover all the DE you mentioned. 1. /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/vte3/Makefile -- Piotr Smyrak
