[gtkmm] ANNOUNCE: gtkmm 1.3.24

[Murray Cumming <murrayc usa net>]

*** gtkmm2

gtkmm provides a C++ interface to GTK+. This development branch of gtkmm
wraps gtk+ 2.0.x.

We are now seriously pushing for a binary API frozen 2.0 release. There
are no known API issues apart from these, which will be punted to some
future version:
