Note that you can follow this more directly in b.m.o. bug 126919. The
patch appears to have the necessary second review as of this morning, so
it should go in RSN. I'm running with last night's version of the patch
and it's incredibly sweet. :)

No comment ;)

FWIW, just to clarify on Shaver's comment, there /is/ a gtk2 mozilla in
the mainline code. It's just not the default build and
not-ready-for-prime-time in the estimation of the guys who have done the
work.
