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.
