We certainly should not do this for the branch. I am not sure that change is a good idea in the trunk. What does the feedback consist of? Users saying they wish the GTK build were the default? I believe there are some. However, how many users said nothing because they are happy that GTK is NOT the default? A half-way change, to make use of GTK the default when GTK dev libs are present, might be good.
