Yes, it's not a lot of code, and that points towards keeping it.  But on
the other hand, simplification is simplification.

I don't think we can avoid supporting GTK, though, so it's something we
necessarily have to live with.  The same isn't the case with Motif.

Yup; it's totally down -- no mail to @gnu.org/@fsf.org is being
delivered now.  (Except to debbugs.gnu.org, but last time this happened,
that server accepted mail and then discarded it, so I'll probably have
to resend all the bug-related mail I've been doing today.  *sigh*)
