Well, this just shows that I haven't been following the development of the
GTK client since last year.  I should have checked the "-sdl" option before
posting (there is no such option in the rather old version that I am using).

This is reasonably easy.  It should be possible to prepare the transition
by compiling the current version using GTK+ 1.2.10 with the global
symbol GTK_DISABLE_COMPAT_H.  If everything works, then the code can be
compiled with GTK+ 2.0 with the compatibility options, and then later
without them (disabling the deprecated APIs).
