I like the idea of getting an official 1.0 release and even more, 
dropping the GTK1 support as this will save us a lot of work.

As there are also some rumors of an upcoming GTK 3.x, we're already a 
bit "old" with our GTK1 support :-)
And keeping three different versions with #ifdef in the sources doesn't 
seem to be really desirable ...

But I'm actually a bit skeptical about: "receive bug fixes and security 
updates"

Let's be honest, the buglist of the current beta grows with a few bugs 
each week (estimated), so we don't even keep up with the current 
incoming rate.

So who's really going to do this maintenance work, when the release and 
the latest branch are no longer in real sync after some time?
