Many people use PostgreSQL/PostGIS on servers without X, which would not be possible if we include Gtk+ as a dependency.

Since you  asked, IMHO  shp2pgsql and all file converters are more 
useful as command-line filters. I wouldn't have any use for a GUI to run

Incidentally, after installing the ELGIS package and moving my old data 
to the new box and finally running the initialization scripts that I had 
forgotten all about it looks like I have a complete and working spatial 
database upgrade on a new machine now. Thank you all for your help!
