With our release cycle, GTK+ 2.20 will be out until 4.6 is released, so
that shouldn't be an issue. Once 4.4 is released, I'll probably bump
dependencies of some packages to 2.10 anyway.

We cannot really support totally outdated GTK+ versions, even if that
means some people will have to kick their distributors asses or upgrade
to a better distro. I have already way too many #ifdef's in my code.
