I was always wondering: why people are so crazy about gtk2?
What's wrong with gtk1.2?

I still love the gtk1 interface, because of the simplicity of
its font handling (I hate outline fonts and antialiasing that
gtk2 always tries to use.)  So I cannot move from firefox 1.0.x 
because apparently firefox 1.5 doesn't support gtk1 interface.
But this is a bit sad..
