Can you elaborate on the libegg thing? I can't find anything in the online GTK docs, but I'd kill for a better toolbar widget...
Sorry for the late reply. (I was advised to step away from the computer and go out and get some fresh air. I've been spending a bit too much time in front of the computer and it was starting to show, so i took a few days offline).
Basically to the best of my limited knowledge (caveat lector!) LibEgg is a testing ground for new widgets that are likely to get folded back into Gtk and Gnome although from my limited knowledge I say some things were folded back in for GTK2.4 I really dont know much more than that.
Some applictions were not willing to wait for stuff to be rolled back into GTK and started using libegg (gnumeric i think it was that made me notice).
If the standard widgets are not good enough for Inkscape chances are improved versions are already in development or suggestions just need to be made.
