This discussion is getting silly. Someone needs to make a decision, and 
someone needs to commit it. I'm on vacation, so I'm not committing right 
now, but I will make a decision about this (follow it as you wish):

* gtk12 support will *not* be added. We don't build gtk12 support into 
other apps, and we won't here.

* Xlib/no-XUL support *will* be added. This should give people a nice 
option for slower machines who don't want to be bogged down by a GTK2 
dependency. Note, however, that the FreeBSD GNOME team all uses GTK2, so 
  the Xlib-only option won't get much committer testing in all likelihood.

Mezz, ahze, do either of you want to commit this?
