Coincidentally, I was wondering the same thing myself. Here is what I 
found....

!! cc: wiki gui     <-- Does something like this work yet? Or do I still
                        have to do this as another manual step? :-)

More background info on GTK 2.0. 

http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/interviews/2295/3/

    Gnome 2.0 is the first time we've scheduled a big API cleanup. This
    will happen at the GTK level.

    "One of the other features is that GTK 2.0 and hence Gnome 2.0 use a
    new engine for displaying text on screen and getting characters
    together and printing those. That is the Pango infrastructure.  Pango
    is a system that lets you output Unicode text to screen and printers
    and so on, but it's a pretty complex process if you're taking
    typography into account, and that's where the strength of Pango is.
    It's interesting, because in some languages you cannot just use a
    different character for representing a letter. So the big change is
    obviously Pango, and porting all that stuff over to the GTK 2.0
    platform.

http://www.redhat.com/devnet/articles/rh7_preview_tech.html

    Abstract: "GTK+ is emerging as a standard for both open-source and
    commercial software on Linux. Soon to be released GTK+ version 2.0
    provides advantages for the user and programmer as well as for
    people deploying the resulting applications. Users will appreciate
    the enhanced functionality of existing and new widgets as well as
    the improvements to the look and feel of the user interface.
    Programmers will find the powerful new widgets easier to use and
    more functional. Markets will grow with the ports to additional
    windowing systems and the enhanced internationalization." 

    Has links to ps and pdf versions of white paper. "The intent of
    version 2.0 is to provide a small number of extremely powerful
    widgets that can be used in a wide range of applications." New
    stuff to include new/improved Tk style tagged text handling and
    tree/list widgets. "GTK 2.0 will also work with a number of other
    windowing systems including Microsoft Windows." (MacOS and BeOS
    are also mentioned.) "The enhanced GObject library will make
    tieing GTK+ to different programming languages even easier than it
    was before."

The big gotcha is lack of a release date. Red Hat Linux 7 supposedly
has a preview copy as of September, 2000. So it seems to be in sort of
a Mozilla-like twilight zone, where for our purposes, you would
might probably want to wait a year to see how things fall out.
