But this way we will never get one single finished release!
Every day something new and shiny is coming up.
But at some point a decision has to be made.
Our's was to stick with GTK1.2, at least for the first release.
After that, maybe go for GTK2 or even 2.2 if it exists until then, is
stable and shrunk to an amount of storage so that it can be used.

Oh, that's great!
We should have a look at it. It might be useful for the furture and
maybe even usable for now.

Also worth a look.
