GTK+ support (or rather lack thereof)

Simon,

Hence this is a call to the R community to see if anyone actually cares.

I (and Chris Wild and quite a few of our mac users) care and would greatly appreciate working GTK+ CRAN packages! 

I don't have any knowledge re source etc, but just to remind you that the current RGtk2 package on CRAN for 3.3 doesn't work (or at least wasn't when I last tried): 

library(RGtk2)
gtkHScaleNewWithRange(0, 5, 1)  # segfault


Cheers,

- Tom
