I think so too, the only thing I'm worried about is that glib2 is still
not so widely used, especially in stable distributions (see redhat 7.3 and
debian). It would be a mistake to commit the whole gdome2 to a non-stable
dependency right now, as it would prevent people to update their binaries
unless they install unstable packages.

If you think it's possible to use just a few #ifdefs here and there, thus
retaining compatibility with glib1.2, then I would do so, and I would ship
binary distributions with the old glib1.2 dependency, giving users the
possibility to recompile gdome2 using glib2 if they want to do so.
