On Linux there are tendencies to get rid of GTK. You might have heard that Razor-Qt and LXDE folks are working on LXDE-Qt. I still stay with Xfce, but even try to get rid of it, to switch away from as much GTK dependent software as possible. As a Linux user I don't have the impression that GNOME upstream is interested in anything, just a subjective impression. Regards, Ralf
