So, let's try to see where we want to go with GtkUnique. Here are the
solutions I see:

 1. Get this in a GTK+ release we can ship with GNOME 2.18
 2. Bless GtkUnique as an external dependency
 3. Include the code in the modules that want to use it for now (while
    waiting for a GTK+ release that ships it)
 4. Include GtkUnique in the desktop for 2.18
 5. Profit? Hrm, sorry.

Solution 1 seems unlikely. Thanks to libegg, I hate solution 3. So we
have 2 and 4.

To me, it doesn't sound like GtkUnique would be "external", and I'd put
it in the desktop if necessary. My personal opinion is that solution 4
is the current best solution.

Any other solution?
