No, that doesn't solve the various dilemmas. Some packages provide both gtk1 and gtk2 possibilities (for example app-editors/gvim). Changing gtk to gtk1 doesn't answer the question of which to use when USE="gtk1 gtk2". With the current flag semantics, confusing as they are, there is at least a clear choice in that case. Unless better reasoning is given, I think we should stick with gtk/gtk2 for USE flags. USE=gtk means to use a gtk interface if possible, either gtk1 or gtk2. USE=gtk2 means to prefer gtk2 over gtk1 when there is a choice, such as in gvim. This gives the user the most control.
