What else deps on gtk+ 1.X?
You can't drop GTK1 unless you want to break every single Loki Setup out there.
Not withstanding the other good comments in this thread, I'd like to point out that this isn't the only respect in which older proprietry applications will break. To run quake3 (for example) on a recent Linux distro you need to start doing things like
echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/legacy_va_layout
Trying to get teamspeak to run along side is even more painful. (Though it's doable - but more effort than finding out you need gdk IMO.)
To be fair, I don't know how the widespread the issues with quake3 are amoungst other Loki games - but I would not be suprised by more issues arising. Without the source or keeping MS-like backwards compatability - what are we going to do?
Let's not even start talking about Oracle installations (though they're improving). ;)
Personally I no longer bother and just keep a Windows installation for running my propriety games.
