It's much too late to vote with regard to win95, IMO. Gtk has 
been broken on that platform for ages, and I hardly think anyone 
is going to invest time fixing gtk on a crap OS that's over 10 
years past its sell-by date.

Win98 is a somewhat different issue, since that OS is not 
totally broken and is still quite prevalent in some quarters. 
But here I take Tor's point: if you want to support win98 (as I 
do, in fact, for my gtk app), use the gtk 2.6 runtime.
