FYI: For applications you just set the widget type from gtk to gtk2. And the
gtk2-interface is always compiled via the IDE or the Makefiles. So, we don't
need to make the hidden compilation very comfortable.

What do you mean with "Overloading objects would demand overloaded and
corrected components"? Can you give an example?

Many differences will simply be made with compiler directives. But some gtk2
features allows to replace whole functions. And these functions can be
overloaded.

I hope the fpc-team reads this thread.
