Applications of the core module set should be all ported to gtk 3 in time for wheezy. But for other applications we depend on, there are at least abiword, gnumeric, iceweasel, gimp, inkscape, shotwell, simple-scan, transmission, debconf (using libgtk2-perl), liferea (which is becoming so crappy we might replace it by something else) and libreoffice for which I am not sure. You should ask their respective maintainers whether they intend to port them or not. If most of them have been ported in time or have good replacements using gtk3, we might have a gtk2-free desktop for wheezy. > * Is support of gtk3 only good enough? It depends on what you are trying to achieve. There will be anyway a large number of remaining, small GTK+ 2.x applications. It took us 8 years to get rid of GTK+ 1.2, I’m afraid it will take a similar amount of time for GTK+ 2. > * Does gtk3 have GTK3_IM_MODULE just like QT4_IM_MODULE for qt4? No. This is one of the upstream choices I am really unhappy about; the environment variables and X settings are the same for GTK+ 2.x and 3.x, despite not having the same modules/themes/input modules available.
