Is GNOME 2 going to be based on gtk-2? If so, there's probably no reason
to switch to gtk-2 until GNOME 2 is at least in beta, since the decision
will affect the gnome and gtk builds of AbiWord.
Plus, switching to gtk-2 will be pretty traumatic for AbiWord, which is
a bad move if we're even considering AbiWord-1.0

Deep in the human unconsciousness is a pervasive need for a logical
universe that makes sense. But the real universe is always one step
beyond logic.
