GTK2 is THE widgetset currently in use on Linux. Removing it from the 
"core" of the IDE would mean to lose or really, really upset many of the 
Linux users (including me).

Also there is no real possibility to make a widgetset "additive" or as 
an "extension" (as became clear in the NoGUI discussion some weeks ago).

So there is no real possibility to remove GTK2. But as Paul suggested, 
the two GTKs - which are sharing a lot of code - should be split up and 
the GTK2 one should be refactored/reworked/improved, so that 
maintainence is made easier.
