maintaining both gtk2 and 3 compatibility

[Richard Henwood <rjhenwood yahoo co uk>]

Hi All,

Ideally, I would like my python app to run under both GTK2 and 3. I seem to have run into a problem with wnck:

My code runs on gtk3 with 'import wnck', but no wnck signals are being received by my app. Installed libs are dumped below.

Is it feasible to keep backward compatibility with gtk2 (gnome2) or should I rip out all the wnck2 packages (below) and maintain two separate code trees?

cheers,
Richard
