Hope not! I am using it 'extensively' for my apps

guile-gnome is using gtk2 since the beginning

I succeeded compiling/installing
http://download.gna.org/guile-gnome/releases/guile-gnome-platform-2.7.97.tar.gz
on both intel and powerpc box [under debian] without any problems

I now 'stricktly' use guile-* and guile-gnome* debian packages, as
it's far more comfortable[reliable] for developping and deploying
applications [under a debian distro].

Howerver, I had to locally recreate guile-gnome* debian packages to
get access the list-store model APIs [see below]

Hope this helps

the following patch was applied locally on debian source
guile-gnome-platform version 2.7.99-4:

  on

        <platform-source-location>/gtk/gnome/overrides/gtk.defs

  among other things, it fixes the gtk-list-store-* api calls (that
  wereotherwise missing)
