I think Unity depends on a fair amount of gnome 3 libraries, at least in 12.04

Yes and no. They ship with a lot of gnome3 apps, but none of the unity code uses any gnome 3 libs. They do use compiz though, and have compiz use the gconf settings.

The thing is, they could switch to a qt based desktop, without touching any unity code.
