Big oops. I pasted the output of 'ldd /usr/bin/gsx' and that binary of course depends on gtk+. However, ldd /usr/bin/gs gives:
libVFlib2.so.24 => /usr/lib/libVFlib2.so.24 (0x00dc8000)

libresolv.so.2 => /lib/libresolv.so.2 (0x001e1000)
So, same conclusion: /usr/bin/gs does not actually depend on the GTK+
library.
Apologies for adding to the confusion by pasting the wrong output in my
previuous mail.
