Why don't people get that you can build GTK-V1 with GTK2?  This is the only
way the Windows client is built.  I don't think it should be dropped until
jxclient is released.  If anything, change the default build to use GTK2.

That's ok with me, though I think I'd probably pick the V1-Redux over the
straight up GTK-V1 layout.

I wholeheartedly agree, but we need to be sure mwedel's changes are completed
or we release prior to that change.  His check in comment said that server
changes need to be made to avoid horking up the display.  Further, he changed
only the GTK-V2 layout and not all the other layout files for the resizing
thing he did.

By the way, I'm also ok with thinning the number of offered layouts in a
default install might be wise.  Perhaps we could pack up the others by
adding a package for extra layouts.  If we do something like that, we
probably need to try to test the water and see what people think about
the various layouts, though I'd tend to package the layouts that work
for lower screen resolutions with the client... which reminds me I still
haven't checked in that 640x480 layout.
