Is that true? The GTK widget list is still fairly basic, and none of
the extended widget sets I've used are incorporated. Certainly, to my
knowledge, gtk+-extra is still separate (and is not dead, in fact it's
just acquired an extra maintainer) and gtkdatabox is under continuing
development as a separate entity. There are widgets in the Gnome
project (used by e.g. ghex) that are not in GTK itself despite sharing
hosting and many developers.

I'm not saying it's a bad idea - incorporating extra facilities into
the core library would make it more appealing to users - but it doesn't
appear to be common practice and I get the impression the GTK
maintainers don't really want the hassle of taking on lots of other
people's babies.
