you are obviously not well informed about the current state of GTK+-2.0.
The announcement of the latest releases (1.3.6 is the latest, 1.3.7 should
be out pretty soon) had the following note:
This release is meant for:
* Those interested in the development of GTK+.
* People planning to port to the upcoming GTK+-2.0 version of GTK+.
Note: the API is mostly frozen at this point. Major API changes
beyond the remaining open '2.0 API freeze' bugs in bugzilla are
unlikely to occur before GTK+-2.0 is released.
Now this is about five weeks ago and the API has been frozen in the
meantime. The 1.3.7 release should give everyone a working and reasonably
stable version to work with.
As said, we use it every day for months now and I can only vaguely remember
the one or two days when GLib, Pango, ATK and GTK+ from CVS HEAD didn't
built out of the box.
Salut, Sven
