I'd like to add a support module for GTK2, called GTK2Support, just like GTK has one called GTKSupport.
This package has several useful composite widgets, such as an alert dialog (which does apparently was removed between GTK1 and GTK2), a simple combo list, an easier list widget (inherited from GTK2.TreeView, with some simplicity methods added), a PropertyBox widget (like the old Gnome.PropertyBox), and a simpler Text widget (inherits from GTK2.TextView, but more like a combination of TextView and TextBuffer, with some simplicity methods added).
It is available on monger for 7.6, in the GTK2.21 module, if anyone wants to see what it is like, and if it is appropriate.
