Well if you need to rip it out/"temporarily" break it to improve the
gtk backend, by all means do so. I'll be bogged down for a few more
months, after which I'll be able to work more on it. (FINALLY.) The
only reason I even checked it in originally was so that others could
play, but I was (and still am) not ready to commit completely to the
API.
