You won't get gtk devs to give up their toolkit, too much work to port the apps over. They'd rather just have an evolutionary change with a couple of functions being made obsolete here and there. Some of us open source devs aren't writing code to be trapped into constantly updating it all the time...
It wouldn't be at all about updating the old apps to use a new tookit - but instead, using a new toolkit to write new apps.
