Good call. Yet, the first GTK module you mentioned might as well be the
showstopper:

Its simply out of the question to remove xmms. I'm not in favour of it
still using GTK+-1 of course. I don't even use it anymore (which I
regret at times). Yet, I think that, as a user, I would expect to be
able to use it.

Also, dillo springs to my mind (that could vanish actually when the
dillo developers finally release the next version which uses a whole
new toolkit).

More on the other issues when my headache is gone.

My 2 cents,

Moritz
