Don't forget we get to ditch gdk_imlib! I don't like having to jump
through hoops with it. (Ok, two lines to load an image isn't terrible,
but gtk_image_new_from_file("x.png") is *so* much nicer :)

Did you need ATK? Or is it safe to ditch at compile-time? IMO it would
be good to use gtk2 because:
 1. AA. Mmmmmm :)
 2. By the time familiar and/or GPE gets to 1.0, it'll be "old".
 3. It's shiny and new ;-D
