This really has nothing to do with backwards-compatibility.  Benny's
gripe is the possibility that the gtk/gnome folks will cram so much crap
into GTK, that it'll be useless as a general-purpose widget toolkit, and
will have too many gnome-specific things in it.

Regardless of the "when" of this, it's something to worry about for the
future.  Perhaps we should write our own widget toolkit for Xfce.  (Yes,
I'm kidding.  That's a monumental task.)
