Hi,
Since Lazarus switched to using GTK2 by default under Linux, the GTK1
support and stability has been free falling. Maybe it's time to simply
remove GTK1 support because it definitely is NOT a stable platform any
more - unlike the "Configure Build Lazarus" dialog suggests, saying
GTK1 is stable (like Win32) and GTK2 is beta.
This bug report suggests the same thing. GTK1 cannot even be compiled
any more. :-/

I'm still tending to use v1 because I've found Lazarus (and a number of
other apps) to be extremely slow on v2 when run to a remote X server.
This was specifically an X problem which didn't show up on VNC, I think
it's now been fixed since when I checked a couple of days ago
performance appeared to be adequate on the limited number of systems I
tested.
There are still some issues. Last year Paul made some improvements
regarding mouse handling and from that moment I started to use
lazarus-gtk2 for development. Resizing/dragging controls still takes
ages, (but I seldom design forms for lazarus )
