Great! - looks like 2.4 is getting closer. Is there a hard dependency on
GTK+ 2.10.13?
I run Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty) which unfortunately is still on libgtk2.0-dev
2.10.11. I know this isn't GIMP's issue, but if 2.4 is imminent then a
dependency on GTK 2.10.13 might cause a delay in getting it out to at least
one major distribution. I'm not clear how the upstream/downstream provider
works out the dependencies but the 2.10.13 dependency MIGHT cause a delay in
adoption of GIMP 2.4. Not trying to start a distribution/dependency flame
war, just pointing out the dependency. (Yes, I know it isn't GIMP's problem.
Yes, I know it is my problem. Yes,......)

I checked out pinning (debian-speak for installing select packages outside
the "official" distribution) but it required 46 updates - including a libc6
update. Hesitant to do this on my primary machine. Here's hoping for a
backport.
