ok, can't we simply move them right away then and be done?
i have no problem with releasing:
glib-1.3.3.tar.gz
gtk+-1.3.3.tar.gz
gtk+extra-1.3.3.tar.gz

where the latter contains those widgets.
and yes, i volounteer to setup that package,
i just need someone to copy CVS files for me, i guess
i can mail mbaulig to do that.
