I will do that shortly, probably within a week.

I would rather not make a branch. I will make sure all other toolkits
on Unix works.

I was thinking of the code that autoconf needs to detect the path to Gtk
and that the version of Gtk is correct, in case the user specified --with-gtk
to configure. If we are using an autoconf that doesn't have this built in,
I need to create an aclocal.m4 with that code. Since I know there was such
a file previously but now is removed, I would like to know if it is okay
to create one again. I don't know the reason why it was removed. It can
be as easy as it was redundant, but there might be some other reason.

A Gtk toolbar can be added later on I guess. I think Gtk/Gnome users
expect the toolbar to pick up their Gtk theme, so I will raise the
priority for this. I don't use the toolbar, so it is not important for
me.

For the toolbar I agree. Icons can mean many things, so a tooltip helps.
For menus, however, the text in the menu should be enough or expanded
so the tip is not needed. I'll see what I can do, but they might not make
it into the first patch. A cutomize variable to turn tooltips off just
in menus is something I would like to add later on.
