Too bad that GTK is more or less controlled by the GNOME people which means that useful features are getting deprecated left and right.
For this reason I sadly had to leave MATE and everything else GTK related behind since you never know how much will be deprecated in the next big GTK release.
I just wish we would have a stable DE and Toolkit that only receives bug-fixes and nothing else.
GNOME2 (and also GNOME 1.4) was good as is for me.
I never needed more and don't want my user interface to change at all.
It would be perfect if one could just compile GNOME 1.4 or GNOME 2.x without having to worry about some changes in a dependency of the DE making it unusable.
