They will be removed in GTK 3.0 at earliest, which is probably
sometime in 2004 at earliest. 3.0 may come later than that, and for
deprecated things a lot of people are still using, they may not be
removed until 4.0. GTK 2 will always have these functions and will
be actively maintained for around 6 years. That's the plan anyway.
GTK 1.2 continues to be actively maintained, GTK 2 will similarly be
maintained even after 3.0 comes out.

It looks to me like gammacurve/curve should have been marked
deprecated, perhaps file a bugzilla report.
