I few questions: * What are pango and atk, and why do we suddenly require them (if indeed we do)? * Are there compelling advantages to using CVS-GTK which outweigh the cons of forcing developers and users to upgrade? Is GTK 1.3 not backwardly compatible with the GTK 1.2 API? My concern is that with such a casual-user oriented application as GIMP we can easily lose users by the wayside with each additional stipulation. * For those of us with pieces of the tree's core which diverge somewhat from the trunk, how much of a no-brainer is converting our code to GTK 1.3-isms?
