What do others think about removing support for GTK 1? It makes sense, any system where you would try to build Vim 7.3 should be able to install GTK 2 libraries. It will clean up the Vim source code.
Well, if we find any bug in GTK1, we're on our own, and the only reply we'll get from the GTK developers is "Use GTK2 -- GTK1 has long been unsupported". GTK2, like its predecessor, is open-source and ought to be available (either by default or as an option) in any Linux distribution and most other Unix-like OSes. Also it isn't as if it were the only possibility: there are also Athena, Motif, etc.
And finally, in two of the help paragraphs under |gui-x11-compiling| and |gui-x11-gtk|, the GTK2 build of gvim is labeled as "experimental". I believe that by now it has had enough real-conditions testing not to deserve that label anymore.
