Sebastien, please... we may be excited so much because current GTK
sucks. For my part, it's the performance. For example, look at how
Rhythmbox behaves with more than 1000 entries. It is a pain, looks like
O(n²) crap (or worse).

... how soon? I am willing to test them, the OP may be too. But pulling
Ubuntu packages means uncalculatable risks.

Eduard.
