IMHO, It's hildon what should be adapted to current GTK+.
Sure, GTK+ mantainers can acept patches to adapt some things, but the
porting effort is in the hildon part.

I don't know if a lot of changes are needed in hildon code, but the
libhildon Debian version [1] can be compiled against current GTK+
master without problems.

To move things forward: could the hildon devels make a list with the
changes needed on both project to coexist?
We can publish that info in GNOME wiki [2] so everybody can track the progress.

Then, if someone is interesed in the work, It can be
proposed/presented on the gtk-devel list and / or in some GTK+ meeting
[2] to discussion.
