Don't misunderstand me. gtk1 can be used to write stable apps.
And the lacking features could be done with X calls and a few hacks
accessing the private structures of gtk1. But this code would be harder
to maintain and not portable.
Examples: unicode, rtl, window z ordering, focussing
Theoretically we could say, these are feature and not needed for a
'stable' lazarus version, but IMHO and many users I talked too, this
would be taken as fake. These things must work better in a 1.0.
