I did the initial GTK+ 2 port with the hope that upstream would pick on
it. That never happened (because upstream's primary development
platform is Windows) and in the meantime there's an active development
group on the non-Windows side, but they work with KDE. The problem
with the port is that is should mirror the Windows side, which is not a
nice read, or the KDE side, which is better, but doesn't have all the
features of the Windows frontend.
At any rate, since noone was willing to maintain the GTK+ 2 port it
never made it upstream. Incidentally that also means the GTK+ 1 port
is unmaintained.
