Are you suggesting splitting the GTK+ code into two completely separate 
pieces of code?  I'd prefer to have the GTK+ 1.2[.x] and 2.x versions 
share as much code as possible, for easier maintenance; if we can do 
that by having more of the GUI implemented in code that doesn't know 
what toolkit it's using, that might be one way of doing that, but, 
without that, I'd prefer to have the GTK+ 1.2[.x] and 2.x versions 
share code whenever possible, and even *with* that there might be 
enough common code to make it worth sharing.
