As far as I can see, there is a gradual overhead of C libraries involved here. The Platform could ship the following subsets of Gtk2Hs:

cairo cairo+glib+pango cairo+glib+pango+gio cairo+glib+pango+gio+gtk

It's a question of how big the tar ball is and how much work it is to bundle the C libraries with the Platform.

That's why I voted for including just cairo.

it's low overhead, high quality and gives your haskell install access to cross-platform graphics capability.

How useful is cairo without pango? Cheers, -- Felipe.
