Gnome doesn't work outside of linux/unix at all. I've never seen a full
gnome app on windows. Gimp doesn't depend on gnome for its windows
edition, neither does inkscape or planner - AFAIK.

Gnome would have much the same problems when they'd try to port to
windows as KDE has. 

Also you're forgetting that Gtk on Windows exists since many more years
than KDE on Windows, so they had lots and lots of time to fix up their
code to work properly on Windows.
