But you do when you're comparing the updates, Diego.. As for code modifications - the front end doesn't need to be modified (well, almost, depends on platform, endianness, OS, etc).. > > 3.

Diego, you'll need GTK 1.X for quite a long time dear, there are tons of applications who needs them and won't be ported. > My point is that gtk got v2, but will I use it? no, I can't afford it yet. > :( Really depends - there might be an app that you want to use which needs GTK V2 - so you'll need both of them. Thanks to Linux/Unix infrastructure - you can put them both together.
