Yeah, I was surprised to see it is not that bad in the end. I'd like to
keep widgets as they are. At least because somebody may want to use them
just in Glade. Or maybe as a library? One never knows who comes with a
crazy idea of reusing pieces of our code.

I just need to spend some more time on this and take care of other
packages because right now, anaconda-core pulls in python-meh which
pulls in Gtk and the whole X stack. So that will be the first step. And
then diving deeper with the goal of installing anaconda-tui on a minimal
installation without pulling the X stack.
