One generally bumps requirements when there's some new functionality we
actually need. There are a few things that are pending the new gtk#, but
nothing really critical. As such, I've been dragging my feet a bit on
commiting anything requiring gtk# 2.8. Probably at this point it doesn't
matter one way or another, so I'm not to worried if things go in that
require that version.
