As I've mentioned, you can extract the source from the source rpm( either via 
'rpm -i ...src.rpm' or using rpm2cpio). I've browsed the headers and it seems 
from libgtop-1.0/glibtop/global.h, that the gnome support is optional. Though 
you probably will have problems building on non-linux/bsd systems. I remember 
it was reported to work on certain Solaris systems. In any case they can 
always give it a try and in the worst case try to port it.
