I did the initial GTK+ 2 port with the hope that upstream would pick on it. That never happened (because upstream's primary development platform is Windows) and in the meantime there's an active development group on the non-Windows side, but they work with KDE. The problem with the port is that is should mirror the Windows side, which is not a nice read, or the KDE side, which is better, but doesn't have all the features of the Windows frontend. At any rate, since noone was willing to maintain the GTK+ 2 port it never made it upstream. Incidentally that also means the GTK+ 1 port is unmaintained. Marcelo
