Re:Really a good idea?

It's even worse with many GTK+ programs sticking to gtk1 instead of moving on to gtk2. Thus you end up with duplicate libraries. For instance, I use Gimp and Dia all the time. But Gimp (stable) is a gtk1 program while Dia is a gtk2 program. So I decided to go to the development version of Gimp to eliminate the redundancy, only to find that Xmms still used gtk1. Aaargh!
