It is. Guile-gtk is only there for those uses where this dynamic
loading doesn't work. (I'm not reasonably sure that dynamic linking
has few enough problems to rely on it).
You can just replace guile-gtk by guile for most occasions. Like
guile-gtk -s calc.scm
can simply become
guile -s calc.scm
Guile will then dynamicall link the needed libraries (starting with
libguilegtk, and then libgtk, all the X11 libs, etc.).
One sticky point is still the repl. Guile-gtk gives you its own
custom repl that is driven by the usual Gtk event loop. Guile gives
the normal repl that doesn't yet cooperate with event loops.
Gnomeg doesn't yet play along because it has its own main procedure,
but it should be possible to clear this up. Don't know about
guile-tcltk.
