Gtk 2.0's Api was largely completed mid-last year, and now it is
definately feature frozen, so anything we would be doing would have to be
independant of it while it was stabalising. All of the main feature set
for GTK 2.0 was decided way before GUADEC in march.

Gtk1.0 is heavily localisable, (to within 1 byte character sets which is
quite a few) using gettext etc.
