The gtk2 interface has not yet been started. The idea is, to inherit from
the gtk1 interface and just overload any procedure that needs some
adaptions. So, I think, a basic gtk2 interface can be created very fast.
After that all the changes listed on www.gtk.org must be checked. And I
estimate, that this will take at least a full week of work.
