[I am not much more than a scripter, so take my programming opinions with
even less weight than my others. :]

I wonder if GTK going to 2.x will be a good thing for the stability of 1.x.
As long as they don't abandon 1.x, you might be able to depend on it as a
stable+bugfixes branch and stick with it for the foreseeable future.

I would expect most distributions to switch to 2.x by default, but support
1.x libraries if installed.  I could be totally wrong about that.

Just an idea.

- GTK is widely deployed and easy to install (at least that was true 
with GTK 1.2, that's _less_ true with GTK 2.x), but the GTK guys
constantly break their own API, which makes it very hard for me
to maintain a 1.x AND 2.x compatible program which keeping useable
