I would just give my 2 eurocents about this, although I originally wasn't so 
keen on having gtk2 useflag dropped entirely.

gtk 1.2 has also quite a bit of unicode/utf-8 problems... on alsaplayer we 
were plenty of crashes due to that.
We're in 2006 and many users with native languages that requires special 
characters uses UTF-8, as it was discussed a while ago, with time, also users 
having English as native language will start using UTF-8 to be able to 
exchange information with the others... Mac OS X already uses UTF-8 by 
default as system codepage.
This means that always more users will find problems and crashes with GTK 
1.2...
