It's good to hear that GTK on Quartz has not gone to sleep; thanks very much for your work on this! Unfortunately this is not immediately clear if you google, say, "gtk osx". Top of the search is the defunct Immendio page; if you follow that link you get a redirect to live.gnome.org, which is pretty much a placeholder. Finally you get to gtk-osx.sourceforge.net, but this page is a bit "scatter-gun" and, unlike the old Immendio page, there's no link (that I can find) to download a current build of GTK for OS X. You get a d/l link if you go to www.gtk-osx.org, but this offers GTK 2.14 which is quite dated by now, and gives the impression there can't be anything going on. I suspect that many GTK app developers (who probably work on Linux by preference) really don't want to build the GTK stack for OS X themselves (any more than they want to build the stack for win32). So if there's no reasonably current d/l available one assumes support is lacking. Bottom line: If there's any way to improve the web presence of GTK/OS X, and to provide a current pre-built GTK framework for downloading, that could make a big difference.
