No one uses GTK+ on Windows.
Personally I'd suggest to delay the question of a standard GUI toolkit
for Py3K and observe what's going on in the XUL, XPCOM, Firefox...
domain. I think that's where the more exciting things are happening
right now and I would like to see a statement of the Python community
embracing this kind of development instead of quarreling about legacy
GUI toolkits.
