On my Ubuntu system apt-cache rdepends libglib2.0-0 gives me, among many others:
This lists package rather than actual binary dependencies; it’s possible (but I don’t think likely) that some of these packages ship GUI applications that depend on glib.
Let’s take, say, consolekit and verify:
dpkg -L consolekittells me the daemon is /usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon, andldd /usr/sbin/console-kit-daemontells me it depends on libglib, libgthread, libgmodule, libgobject, libgio, but no GUI stuff. So here you are, a genuine daemon using glib.
