GTK, probably not, but glib is going to be an issue if Aidan is right and Pango is the best way forward for state-of-the-art font handling. I also like the idea of a cairo-based redisplay, which might allow us to get pretty close to native capability on all consoles cairo supports. Both pango and cairo depend on glib. Ok. Maybe redisplay-xlike can become redisplay-cairo. Long term, using

I don't know about GTK_CHECK_VERSION, but I guess that's equivalent and built-in to GTK? Keeping config.h (and configure) out of version checking sounds interesting to me (although there may be problems I haven't thought through).

Another possibility for the keystroke stuff would be a gtk3keys2gtk2.h file which just #defines all the gtk3 keys in terms of gtk2 key defines. Gtk 3 has gdkkeysyms-compat.h. I could use that, but there aren't that

Yes. Some code is disabled, and doesn't call those functions yet. > Now that Gtk 3 is mostly working, I'll be getting to that. Great! If you're not testing with clang yet, let me know "when" and I'll send you the clang warnings (they're different from GCC, and often useful). I regularly build with clang, the errors and warnings are much better.

Unfortunately my (old) Parallels on my (old) Mac runs Ubuntu at really unusable speeds, so I don't have regular access to a non-Mac GUI at the moment.

Thanks for your efforts on GTK!
