Also, it would make it easier to migrate to using Glade 3 with GtkBuilder instead of Glade 2
Well, not completely sure about this, even though I like GtkBuilder and Glade3 (it's soooo nicer than Glade2 :p): GtkBuilder was *introduced* in 2.12, which means the code is quite young with this release, maybe having important issues. I don't mean we shouldn't try to use it, but simply that it may be a problem because some important fixes might have happened in a newer release.
Good point. But there is probably one way to find it out: test it :). Seriously, I think we could try to get a rough converted version and then test it on GTK 2.12.0 (or .x) to check how it works. But not today and tomorrow.
(and in the long term makes getting compatible with GTK3 easier, but really, later :D).
Honestly it shouldn't be that hard to support GTK3 at some point since AFAIK we don't rely on the things that have largely changed in GTK3 (size allocation, Cairo rendering, ...).
Yeah. I guess the most obvious change will be GSEAL as mentioned in another post in this thread.
