Well, it seems that 2.0.0 is finally out.  Congrats to the Gtk team
which includes "our own" Guy Harris.  I have not had time to review the
changes, but it looks as though they are major. I also note "A final
version of the Windows port is expected within a month or two."  That
may be very useful.  Does anyone know if 2.0 is a superset of 1.2 or if
we'd have to make major changes to use it?  The main change I am aware
of the addition of GtkTreeView and (IIRC, the deprecation of GtkTree). 
The info on GtkTreeView is (from
http://www.gtk.org/gtk+-2.0.0-announce.html):
 GtkTreeView - a flexible widget for tree and list display, with
    features such as a model-view split for abstracting data storage
    from display, the ability to create custom models to accommodate
    large data sets, versatile display/rendering features, and
    editable data cells.

BTW I also note one of the improvements listed is "A clean and
attractive new default appearance."
