Get upstream to port it to GTK+ 2.0 and ensure that it will be compatible with GTK+ 3.0 (which will remove a bunch of deprecated stuff from GTK+ 2.0). An alternative would be to send upstream a patch for that. If upstream is not active you could take over the upstream project: http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sourceforge/wiki/Abandoned%20Project%20Takeovers -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
