Still, GTK1 is pretty mature and stable technology.  There are still quite
a few useful apps that happily use it (xmms, titano, etc).  While I agree
that if some application supports both GTK1 and 2, the second should be
made the default, we are not ready from ditching GTK1 completely.  After
all, they can happily coexist together, and this setup is immune to Qt2/3
issue, AFAICT.
