Or you could just save yourself the hassle and just switch over to XFCE, awesomewm, the possibilities are endless. More productive than pining over a DE that's now officially dead (dying).
xfce depends on gtk2. when gnome3 hits the repo, i assume gtk3 will deprecate gtk2, which will in turn deprecate xfce. it is possible to maintain gtk2 and gtk3 at the same time, but using a desktop environment depending on a deprecated library seems not so good. anyway, we are still using tons of applications depending on the deprecated python2. :p
gtk2 is not deprecated. it won't get any features but is still maintained

thank you for the information. i found a blog by matthias saying he would maintain gtk2 for a long long time. that's quite reassuring. :-)
