Personally, I think making this switch would be awesome. What would we have to do to get it in a future release? It sounds like we just need to have some Windows users do some regression smoke testing on that branch using the other dialogs (what was that branch again...) and compiled to the newer GTK version? Unfortunately for this process, I don't use windows anymore.

So this means we're waiting on gtk to make a later windows version? Or on updating geany's windows build scripts to another version of gtk?We need to make windows builds using a version of GTK newer than 2.16 so we can advance the oldest version we support. But the situation is that the GTK project has few resources for windows problems, and general responses on the GTK MLs have indicated that after version 2.16 there were various problems up until 2.24 when some more resources have resulted in an acknowledged better release. So given the large jump in versions, a build on windows using this later release should be made and tested a bit before it becomes the "official" version. Note Geany uses 2.24 no problems on Linux, but that unfortunately doesn't guarantee no windows problems.
I can't tell you what is actually involved in making the build system change for windows, but as I said it needs to be tested first. Note that for windows there are versions that include GTK with Geany to ensure that the correct version is available and used, the build system for these also needs updating.
I use Geany on Windows (when I have to...) with 2.24 just fine.
