gtk versions: drop support for less than 2.4?

We still require only gtk 2.2, and consequently carry around some extra chunks of code to support versions before 2.4. Can we drop this and require 2.4 or later? Or possibly even a later version? It looks like 2.4 came out in the fall of 2004.

I'm +1 on dropping support for gtk+ < 2.4 (if even later). Those multiple code paths were a pain, and installing multiple versions of gtk+ for testing is also something I'd like to stop doing.

Cheers,
Mike
