It could, but I think that it still is in such a state of flux that I
would be scared to use it.  In another 6-12 months, my hope is that
GTK+ will have stabilized enough to allow use in very large projects
by people other than GTK+ hackers.

Also, at least for office apps, getting GtkDPS finished would help a lot.
Anyone have any idea what the deal is with it?

There is at least one, the name of which escapes me.
