Go for it if it pleases you (that's what LGPL is for). Nobody of the gtk[--]
developers (AFAIK) would help you! Take a closer look at Gtk--, it's a good
thing. Besides some issues with widget deletion I'm very fond of it.

There's no need for Yet Another Tool Kit (tm). You might as well go and bother
the Qt folks with your rewrite ideas. We have strong reasons to stay with our
approach.
