Current versions of X and older proprietary ATI driver often can't be used together, IOW sometimes a proprietary driver can't be used, even if the user should be willing to use proprietary drivers. GNOME comes with tons of insane hard dependencies, perhaps unimportant when building GNOME from ports, but likely it will need some patches. With each new "stable" GKT3 release from upstream there are new bugs/features that are just a PITA and they effect even users who stay away from crappy GNOME. LXDE already switches to Qt.
