    ... and I wanted see if you have any preferences with respect to
    which toolkit is built as the default.  I'll take any preferences
    you might have in consideration ....

As far as I know, the GTK toolkit is still misleading as to the size
of the visible buffer since it does not yet offer underscrolling.  The
display includes post-buffer empty space as if it were within-buffer
whitespace; the GTK toolkit still provides a broken user interface.
So you need to use the native toolkit.

Separate issue:  which window managers do most Debian users use?  Do
some portion of them use KDE or Enlightenment or FVWM?  Would they be
pleased with a GTK toolkit that worked right?  Should you offer
anything for these users and if so what?
