There are various ways users can make such modifications.
We can add those to the list of possible options to compare.
This is for GTK 3, right?
One pwrtinent question is, how bad would the problems of GTK 3 be if
we imagine a few of them have been fided this way? Would they be bad
enough that we would want to reject GTK 3 over them anyway?
There is a modified version of GNOME 2, which I suppose includes GTK
2. It is called Maté. (The accent on "ë is incorrect Spanish, but it
is correct English.) It is no longer maintained, but it is probably a
better starting point than GNOME 2 itself. I use it, because it is
included in Trisquel. I presume it contains a version of GTK 2.
If newer versions of GTK are lousy, and the other options also have
bad problems, maybe this is the best.
