Unfortunately your being limited to GTK-1 means you're most likely
going to have problems with far more than just Vim in the coming
weeks/months.
If GTK-1 is removed, please remove the following lines from
develop.txt:
78:
Vim tries to help as many users on as many platforms as possible.
I see no reason to remove this line. Since, as pointed out previously
in the thread, GTK-1 isn't even supported by the official developers
any more. And the wording is "as many [...] as possible".
84:
- Support many compilers and libraries. Not everybody is able or
allowed to install another compiler or GUI library.
Same as above, the wording is "many", not "all".
The harsh reality is that practicality and feasibility may prevent
Vim's support of GTK-1 from continuing, even if we want to keep the
support.
For example, look at ":help compile-changes-7" and you'll see that GUI
support for BeOS and Amiga had to be dropped a while back.
The plus side is that even if GTK-1 support is dropped in 7.3, you can
still run the latest version of 7.2.
Just out of curiosity, what prevents you from installing, or having
your system administrator install GTK2?
