The big difference from a user's perspective is the scroll bar, specifical=
ly middle button behavior=2E  IMO a regression=2E=20

In regard to vim, I use motif=2E Motif and gtk2 share middle button scroll=
 bar behavior=2E  Left button behavior is similar to the middle button exce=
pt for "jump to=2E"
--=20
Pardon the typos and autocorrect, small keyboard in use=2E
