I don't know of any work. The changes would mostly be to GTK+ I would
expect.

Lots has changed in the devel version of GTK+, so using CVS is
recommended. If you wait a week or two there will be a new tarball
(1.3.2 probably) of the devel version you could work against.

CVS is sort of convenient since you can generate a patch with 'cvs
diff -u' instead of keeping two source trees around.
