Good question. It used to be that my objection was (as shared by another
poster, I saw) that GTK+ 2 is too slow to be used. That was before I
upgraded my home machine, heh.

I actually *have* a GTK+ 2-port of gentoo at home, but it's based on
an old version of the code, 0.11.4x something I think, and also has
serious issues with the custom widgets etc. So, it's far from release-
worthy.

Since gentoo is not getting a lot of time from me at the moment, I
find it easier to maintain the 1.2-based version than work on getting
the 2.0 one "up to speed". Sorry about that.
