However, I still think it would benefit everyone if the maintainer could provide an explanation for some of the current behavior and would at least be open to discussion about changing it. The biggest problem here, IMHO, is not the OPTIONS issue, but rather the use of GTK 1 as the default.

I have commented on GTK2 (explained) in the past.
It is the kitchen sink that gtk2 brings in vs. gtk1. On my desktop gtk2 requires 64 other packages. gtk1 requires 20.

I guess its time to take another survey. Is Vim one of the few last gtk1 consumers?

It probably is. Nothing I have installed uses GTK1. Actually, this includes Vim since I have it using Athena widgets. :)

BTW, I just noticed by chance that Vim compiled with Athena widgets for the GUI has no dependency on libXaw. This is all the dependencies on my Vim install with a working gvim:

Dependency: python26-2.6.6
Dependency: cscope-15.7a
Dependency: libiconv-1.13.1_1
