Not really gonna answer for Sun, but I doubt they will provide any new major versions of such software until it is necessary. At the moment I do not see Sun providing S10U5 users GTK+ 2.10. Possibly U6 if there is a U6. If you can wait a little bit I can see if I can provide a GTK + 2.10 package to go along with Firefox 3 and package that as well for S10U5. I have S10 on my Ultra 20 M2 as well.
