From the discussion, I gather that 2.6 *is* reasonably well supported on Mac. Thus, this suggests perhaps it would be wisest to do our 2.8 upgrade in two steps:
0.45 - Move our requirements to Gtk 2.6 Communicate our Gtk 2.8 ambitions to the Mac Gtk port maintainers. Encourage Inkscape Mac developers to experiment with 2.8 Around Sept, re-evaluate Gtk Mac 2.8 status
0.46 - Depending on evaluation, move to Gtk 2.8
I'm in favor of this proposal.

Sounds good to me too.
Oh, though I do want to point out that the move to 2.6 will give some pain on Linux for enterprise distros. So perhaps we'll end up with a few month's window where we keep maintaining 0.44.x a bit longer to cover base support, then get to move on come December. That way they get *something* supported, just not the latest new features. But then again, that's what you get with a corporate distro in general. :-)
