Maybe it is a better idea to Vladimir> clean up the code and continue with gtk3 only. I think the better idea is to just release version 1.1 or 2.0 of geeqie and get development and releases moving again, but without the gtk3 changes. Those should go into a new version, maybe 3.0, instead. Let's not bite off more than we can chew, especially if the changes are really intrusive into the codebase.
