packaging of gui app: should it require X + wm ?

Hi,
Just trying some minimal installs of the dev tree, succesfully booting
to text mode (ie no X nor wm). I did a yum install gkrellm. This
installed lm-sensors, but didn't force or warn that an X implmentation
or window manager should be installed.

Is this considered normal, ie shouldn't yum/the package either warn that
it can install because no X (or wm) exists ?

I'm not specifically concerned about gkrellm, more about gui packages in
general :)
