I'm not so sure it will take months as gnome has followed the
development series 1.1.x and the version before gtk+ 1.2.0 was 1.1.16
(released not long ago). But my point was that now one doesn't need to
juggle with several versions of gtk+ libraries as soon as the
applications are updated to 1.2.x (Of course that can take some time
for those built on 1.0.x) I take it for granted that moving into 1.2.0
means it is stable...

Yes true. But with too many features it will be even harder to get all
the bugs.
