Hello,

I am not sure if this has any value for the thread, so
please, if it doesn't just ignore this post and forgive
me for disrupting the discussion.

I just wanted to illustrate the current state of this
in Gentoo, since other people around already did the
same for debian based distros.

In the gentoo ebuild, Gtk.pm and *FvwmGtkDebug* are removed
unconditionally since I cleaned up the whole think (for 2.5.25
I think, it's been long since), and no one has even complained
about it. This is true for both the official ebuild for 2.5.26
and the unofficial cvs one.

Note that this stuff would anyway need gtk-perl,
which was gone off the portage tree long ago, so, the official
portage can't support that feature unless we add another
gtk1-based package that's already deprecated and probably
unmaintained.

The rest of gtk1 support should work (never used it myself
though) and is controlled via an USE flag, but I don't know
about anyone using it either. So, I don't think that Gentoo
users in general would care about you dropping gtk1 at all.

Nowadays no one is going to add any gtk1 based package into
portage unless it's needed to save a kitten from an horrible
death or something like that. :)
