GTK dependency standard for helper packages/apps?

All, Darrell,

  Going through build scripts for dependency/helper application like xmedcon, I
was building them against gtk2 last year for both tde13 and R14. Do we have any
'tde' standard we are trying to enforce for minimizing the dependencies for a
complete tde install?

  What I mean is that if someone goes to install tde-full with all helper apps,
do we want and try to say all apps with a gtk requirement should be built
against gtk3 instead of gtk2?  I for one prefer gtk2, but I can see the logic in
standardizing around a version to minimize dependencies (and to prevent build
failures when gtk2 is dropped)

  Has anyone given this any thought? I don't like the prospect of having to
recode older apps against a new gtk, but it is doable. The number of apps this
will apply to is minimal.
