I understand your point.  Here's my concern - as a software company we must 
base our products on a language / library that has a big following and 
support base.  We are considering switching our C++ based code to gtkmm and 
technically the combination of gtkmm, glade, and gtk+ seems very good.  But 
unlike Qt which has the whole KDE project using it, as well as Trolltech's 
support, I don't see the momentum for gtkmm being the basis for Gnome, which 
might either stay C based or move to C# and Mono.  In which case gtkmm stays 
a small step-child, with a small following and small support base,   And 
gtkmm not having any cheerleaders at GAUDEC seems to reinforce that.
