Well, I think as GTK+ is really deep down in the stack it's stability and code quality is much more important than adding new features. When you look at some of the older GTK+ code (e.g. GtkNotebook) you see what happens without responsible maintainership. I know from personal experience that it is difficult to get stuff into GTK+. It involves poking a lot at the maintainer(s), actually it was always mclasen who committed and commented things. Still, it's possible to get new features in (GtkToolPalette, action-widget for GtkNotebook). I think it should be even easier for bug-fixes. What I see as a bigger problem is that the chance to clean things up for 3.0 might pass because not enough people are working on this. Regards, Johannes
