You must remember when doing this overhaul that there is a large body
of code that already uses GTK. So you can't make huge API changes
unless you also want to go change that code. (Think about the GIMP and
its 150k+ lines). Of course, if you also volunteer to update all the
existing code then there isn't much of a problem. :)
I'd be interested in hearing what you propose. I might enjoy shooting
holes in it. And I might even have a good suggestion or two.
