There was a message on arch-general, noting that kiwi does not depend on gtk1.
As I understand the situation, the holdups concerning gtk1, kdelibs3 and qt3 are now resolved, and there is a strong consensus that moving these packages is a good idea. We don't want to act as upstream for old, unmaintained, obsolete and potentially insecure libraries.

I've just removed qt3/kdelibs3 (as well as packages depending on them) from the repos. In the next few days, I'll check your work on imlib and see what can be done with gtk1. This thread was started when I was inactive so I didn't really had time to go through this earlier.
Everything is done now. glib, gtk and frinds have beed removed from the repos. In case someone is interested, here's the packages that were removed: glib gtk xmms lib32-glib lib32-gtk dfm gdk-pixbuf manedit amidi-plug perl-xmms xmmsctrl xmms-imms xmms-pulse xmms-volnorm
