My comments are just general and I haven't honestly looked into the technical details and up to this point. You seem to know exactly what needs to be done to get through the GTK 2 bump, and it awesome that at least someone does and understands the urgency to AT LEAST bump it up to GTK 3. We use DIA on daily basis and don't want to see it die. So we could cough up some cash and finance some of this effort. In your opinion is is too crazy to suggest separating the UI/UX from the logic and salvaging the C code, templates and all the other non-UI stuff as a "backend".
