Move to Gtk+2.16 ?

How do people feel about depending on Gtk+-2.16 or greater?

From what I'm discovering with the GtkBuilder issues, it's going
to be very hard to support both < 2.16 and >= 2.18

On windows the gtk used is 2.16.6, so at least to me,
it is ok.

Debian lenny has GTK+ 2.12, so I guess we'd have to require users
to upgrade at least their GTK+ packages to Debian "testing".  (Or
install a backport from backports.org, but I don't see one for
libgtk2.0-0.)

I guess then the best thing to do is to move master to 2.18 and keep
a pre-2.16 branch for a while.

That's a pain.

I'll figure out how hard it would be to build GTK+ 2.18 for
backports.org.  If it's not too hard, then we could just advise
users to update their GTK+ version.

It seems that it may not be that hard.  I'm going to give it a
shot, anyhow, at least asking Debian's Glib and GTK+ library
maintainers whether they know of a reason that it's a bad idea.

Looking at recent bug reports (at bug-gnu-pspp@... and on 3rd
party forums such as Debian) it seems that this issue is becoming
urgent.  Unless anyone has any objections, I'm going to start a
Gtk+-2.18 branch so as to avoid falling too far behind on this
problem.

Sounds OK to me.
