But I have to ask, why not just keep using GTK 1.2? GTK 1.2 is mature, and lite. Perhaps it will start an effort to keep GTK 1.x alive?
As far as I'm concerned, the disadvantages of sticking with 1.2 are: - lack of support for client-side antialiased fonts, multiple displays, internationalisation, and other modern toolkit features - abandoned upstream; nobody is even fixing bugs in 1.2 at this point. - used by increasingly few other programs, which creates a headache for system integrators. For example, every other program in the distributions that I work with is using GTK 2 now. I would love to be able to ship a recent Dillo, but this would mean installing libgtk1.2 and libglib1.2 (plus probably a pile of server-side fonts for it to use) and I can't spare that amount of flash. p.
