    Hi Martin,

    For dialogs, there will be next to no difference (if at all) between the
    GTK+ and GNOME versions. In fact, many of the gnome/ subtrees (or their
    contents) will be going away. GNOME specific bits, where necessary and
    appropriate, will be housed in unix/ hiding behind #ifdef HAVE_GNOME
    logic.

    Why is a good chunk of the GNOME port going away? Most of the
    GNOME-specific stuff that we used has been deprecated and pushed up into
    GTK+ proper (and improved upon there). Specifically, this relates to
    GnomeDialogs and stock buttons/icons. We will still have our GNOME port.
    I plan on still using Gnome-Print, a Bonobo-based XAP_App/AP_App, GConf
    for our preferences, GAL, EEL, ... all where appropriate.

    Hope this clears things up.

    Dom
