Has there been any discussion on what people see as the biggest gaps in
GTK+? A lot of the items in the list might be nice, but aren't too
important.

But GTK+ doesn't have a cross-platform printing architecture, which I
think is almost essential. I suppose a cross-platform sound API is
needed as well. I think Qt has both.
