As said in my other posting, "gnome-config" is used as fallback in 
pkgconfig (for historical reasons) when package is not found. Usually it 
happens when you don't have some optional library/package that is 
checked from pkgconfig.

I'm not sure is this removed from later pkgconfigs, or is it ever 
planned to be removed but it's usually safe to ignore it.
