no, but we could at least get working developer releases out on a
regular basis... which I think is a big plus.

My idea would be that we do this all on master, so that we don't have to
merge and that everyone works on the new Gtk+Xt version... I think
everything else will be too much effort, unless we don't touch the
Xt-code anymore once we ported something to Gtk (unlikely)... This
probably will mean that we only do developer releases for a while, but
perhaps this is a good time. I think there are no major todo items that
we want to get implemented right now...
