This will be a general problem when ithis choice will be enforced to all the other distros as usually happens with anything RH decides...
A lot windows of managers, like WindowMaker for instance, do not understand GTK3 and 4, do not mix good together with those library and the result is ugly.

Btw, I don't use any GKT2 app anymore and I don't know of anyone that does.

Don't say that around here. People are complaining about TQt3 already and that has more developers than your future GTK2 branch if you are the sole maintainer. So there's no way people are going to welcome that.
Gtk+2.0 is simpler (and standard C99); Especially once combined into a monolithic library (currently it is a modular monolith that is common in the Linux ecosystem). Admittedly it wont ever be as light as FLTK (limiting to C++03 and a subset of STL was a good idea for portability), but I do predict that maintaining it won't be so bad.
I have already done half of the combining whilst maintaining a Gtk 2.0 Quake III level editor.Last edited by kpedersen; 26 August 2022, 12:55 PM.

ddccontrol-gtk - use it daily
gkrellm - likewire
gpicview - use quite a lot
hexchat - use quite a lot
lxdm - my DM
pavumeter - use it often
unique - it has UI? Really? OMG
A weird decision on Redhat's part.
And these are GTK2 applications that I use. I imagine people have lots more.
