And when are the next releases scheduled ?

Gnome 2.2 was released in january, XFree 4.3.0 will be in february or
early march, that is without talking about KDE, and other stuff. There
is no doubt that all the major distros will have a new release this
spring, and even debian will possibly have a release this summer.

And what are the plans for the official lablgtk2 release ? Will it be
ready now, or be it one train late when all the major distros release
with gtk 2.2.

Also, like said in the other mail, apparently gtk+ 2.2 fixes many
problems, both bug and api wise, that where present in gtk+ 2.0.
