Hi,

This is a little confusing. Did you mean the gtk-xt branch?

The gtk-xt branch is last updated november 2011, and does not use libXt.

The gtk branch is not updated since 2010, and does still use libXt and 
libXaw.

Would you please explain the status of these two branches. Are they both 
used? Thanks.
