I think Daniel is wrong here. Those widgets are not used in the Gimp core.
As far as I know only the scanner plug-ins use them.

Yeah, we will put any widget we need and you drop out of GTK+ into 
Gimp's UI libraries. The plan is to have a small set of libraries in
Gimp-1.4 that can also be used separated from The GIMP. So if other
projects need that stuff too, they can either implement it themselves
or link to libgimpui and friends.


Salut, Sven
