Yes. BTW, if you express the dependency using Zero Install then you
can use Zero2Bundle to make a static bundle (i.e. your program +
ROX-Lib):

  http://roscidus.com/desktop/Zero2Bundle

That would also allow people who prefer to use shared libraries to use
it that way (via AddApp), and would let GNOME and KDE users use it too
(nautilus at least supports drag-and-drop saving these days).

For example, you should be able to make a static bundle of Edit with
this command (all one line):

0launch --not-before=0.2
http://rox.sourceforge.net/2006/interfaces/Zero2Bundle.xml
http://rox.sourceforge.net/2005/interfaces/Edit

If you look inside the resulting "Edit" app dir, you'll see
subdirectories called "Edit" and "ROX-Lib2" containing the two
components. Note: the bundle doesn't require Zero Install to run, only
to create it.
