Given that none of the packages are migrating down to sarge anyway, it
seemed worthwhile to start migrating to 2.2 -> Christian decided that he
wanted to start with RC1 (which isn't out yet, but a fair whack of the
tarballs are).
The GTK+ family 2.2 is api/abi compatible with 2.0.x, and is a necessary
upgrade (2.0.x won't be supported).

Yeah, maybe. GNOME won't have too many C++ b0rkages. fam's API is C-based,
and there are very few C++ bits in GNOME itself (gnome-games, basically).

It very definitely is. :-)
