I too am for gtk2, not just because it looks a lot better than gtk1.2
( which IMHO is very important for handhelds where screen space and
input methods are limited ) but also its nicer to code. Stuff like
display migration is icing on the cake and would really give an edge
over other 'windowing' systems on handhelds.
Phil mentioned uclibc over glibc, this is really getting quite mature
now and as you can see [1] is viable. The tuxscreen [2] guys have
busybox, uclibc, tinyX + libs and matchbox in under 4 Megs of flash (
approx 800k free IIRC ).
A possible future alternative to an xlib butchering is XCB [3] which
is nearing alpha release.
Just my 2 pence;
