In practice conventional desktop apps don't translate directly to the
web very well, even with things like ajax.  Hence you're unlikely to
ever see a version of GTK that targets a web browser.

A far better solution is to write apps in a modular, flexible way, with
a clear delineation between front end and back end.  That way you can
easily move your app between platforms, UI tool kits, and even to the
web by writing a web UI that accesses your backend code via an exposed
service.
