Hi, Im a regular Inkscape user, and with all the noise about the coming of the new GTK3, I want to know if Inkscape is already working in the GTK3 port, or when will that happen.
I guess GTK3 can bring some improves to or beloved Inkscape.

My take is that GTK+ 3 adoption is tied a fair bit to GNOME 3. We are going to have to wait for the various distros to pick them up and get them out there before we can make that a requirement. There were also several things we were waiting for that are being delayed until later revisions (such as multitouch support), so jumping over to GTK+ 3 won't gain us those yet.

You mean waiting for fancy multitouch is better than relying on GTK+2 with broken graphic tablets support? :)

GTK+3 is just about as broken as GTK+2. We still don't have hotplug any better, etc.
What I'm saying is that I've not seen any killer feature that will get users to migrate. And they've ended up falling into the KDE 4.0 trap.
And I've been trying to help on that front, but ever since Apple hired away the Imendio guy, they've been 'bout impossible to communicate with on fixing GTK itself.

Not quite. I don't know what experience you have with GTK+3, but judging by what Mitch says, GTK+3 has tablets working, whereas current GTK+2 doesn't. Since he personally ported GIMP to GTK+3 and has it working, I tend to trust his words :)

Who "they"?

GTK+2 tablets have been working well for me, including various Linux and OS X versions.
Also most tablet-specific work has been deferred to latter revisions after 3.0.

GTK devel mailing list, GIMP mailing list, GTK IRC...
Shame, too, since I had the OS X tablet stuff working nice and smooth on native OS X, etc.
(On the other hand, the X11 guys have been quite communicative and helpful.)
