You say "rather ancient". To be honest, I'm at a bit of a loss trying 
to understand Gtk+ versioning. I was under the impression 2.24 was the 
last Gtk+ 2 version. Homebrew offers 2.24.25, which is the last 2.24 
version, AFAICS. But now I see the Gtk+ FTP also has 2.9x folders, but 
the dates on those source archives are much older.

As for Homebrew tampering with the Gtk source, there's no patches being 
applied in any case:
https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/blob/master/Library/Formula/gtk%2B.rb

What *is* the recommended way for running Gtk+ 2 and PyGtk on Mac, as 
there seem to be no Mac binaries provided on the Gtk+ site? I tried a 
packaged PyGTK (including a Gtk+ 2.24) before, but that was very 
unstable running Zim (crashes on resizing windows, for example).
