But I'm not very enthusiatic about adding branches to the tree: I already need to create a new branch everytime a new feature appears in ocaml, and branches tend to multiply rather than add. Of course, anybody with access to the CVS tree can add the branch by himself. Just give it a reasonable name. > Anyway, you told yourself that the 1.2 support was almost fully there.

As I said, I expect the current release to be already almost 2.0 compatible. That is, people can start using it with 2.0 as soon as it is released, or very soon after. Then, new widgets (there are indeed plenty of them) will be added gradually, by order of interest. By the way my concept of popular is just: when it is supported enough to replace gtk-1.2 for most uses. Only very few people are interested in installing two versions of the same library simultaneously. But as you said, I expect this to be much faster than with gtk-1.2. Cheers, Jacques
