It looks so. While it is true that GtkPreview has been deprecated
without a replacement widget without a good reason (in my opinion, and
obviously in Sven's opinion too), GimpOldPreview is much more than only
a wrapper around GtkPreview. Besides, we (I ?) could do a better job by
integrating GimpPreview (or whatever its name will be) more with gimp's
internal.
