Well, the decision taken at that time was to keep it as is, as a nagging
for peopl to port to lablgtk2.

Read the mail archive, Maxence told us he would begin working on it once
a stable API version of lablgtk2 is released. I think it will happen
nextly.
BTW, there is a new upstream lablgtk2 available, but i am not packaging
it due to the mini-freeze, and because it does change the API a bit. I
prefer to wait either for the end of the mini-freeze, or for the
stable-API beta release.
BTW2, There is not much intention to do gnome bindings. Are some of you
using those, or need them ? If yes, maybe a post to Jacques about it
would be a good idea.

Like said, it would be trivial to do, we just need to have to wait for
the ftp-master to accept it though. But as said, lets not do it, and
encourage people to port to lablgtk2.
