A version bump to the end of gtk2 makes sense but gtk3 feels
premature. gtk3 has its detractors because of what happened with
GNOME3 and GIMP. gtk grew out of the need to make gimp and even the
gimp people seem to be having trouble with them now. I am not saying
dump gtk, just that this might not be the best use of our time right
now.

Igor2 is off working on something using SDL because it is maintained
but has a slower release cycle. The logical reason being that we don't
really care about new gtk functionality but we have to burn time
fixing things for each major gtk release.
