It's possible for some of these applications, but not for all. The
best approach is probably to port them over to GTK2, but I suspect
it's fairly non-trivial for some (most ?) of them...
Any application using a custom GTK widget will take days to port to
GTK2. Not mentioning the GNOME1 applications in this list ...

Yep. gtk-theme-switch is moot anyway, even if it was GTK1-only, as
it becomes useless once you've got rid of everything else.
I'm giving a shot at some of the low hanging fruits, is there a
usertag that can be used to track GTK2 patches in the BTS ?
JB.
