First there is Maemo for the N770 discussed elsewhere. The second one is win9x. Although mostly obsolete the use of gtk+ there was finally broken by the cairo dependency, i.e. >= gtk+2.6.x. I wouldn't call this stick to Gtk+ 2.6 but just leaving the backdoor open ;) Another thing stopping full adoption of cairo is the apparent lack of interest in better win32 support. At least for me it seems to be very difficult to get patches accepted, which deal with pure win32 stuff. See http://hans.breuer.org/gtk/cairo.html for some examples. The recent switch to a very Linux orientated version control system does not help either. And finally although the current feature set is nice and moving in the right direction it is still not competitive to what's possible with regard of (win32 native) print support for years.
