Isn't the Gtk requirement of 0.44 the same as for 0.43? I thought it was a concious decision to drop Win95 in favour of stability and bug fixes only available in later versions of Gtk..

The requirements for 0.44 and 0.43 may be the same, but Win 9x was dropped back in 0.43: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/ReleaseNotes043#Windows_95.2F98.2FME...

You should be able to use both Gtk 2.4 and 2.6 (matching the requirements for Inkscape 0.44 and 0.45?) on Windows 95/98/ME, but the current Windows installer comes with Gtk 2.8(?). Has anyone tried to build a Win95 version of Inkscape by linking against a lesser version of Gtk?
