I don't know the details, but here is what I know:
A few years ago a gtk application was an application which used gtk, a 
gnome application was an application which used gtk, the gnome vfs, the 
gnome config framework and the gnome component model (corba ?)

Is this still true today ?
What makes an application to a gtk or a gnome app ?

The distinction is becoming less meaningful over time as more of the "GNOME" technologies are
getting incrementally merged into base level libraries like GTK and glib.
