issues with Gtk version 2

[jverzani]

I know I need to update, but haven't. I find there are issues with the following:

• in lists.jl the GtkCell bits
• in theme.jl the CSS stuff

Those are easy enough for me to deal with, but the issue I don't know how to work around is in Gtk.jl where the cache is deserialized. I get:

ERROR: GtkCellViewI not defined
 in eval at no file
 in anonymous at /Users/verzani/.julia/Gtk/src/Gtk.jl:149
 in reload_path at loading.jl:146
 in _require at loading.jl:59
 in require at loading.jl:43
while loading /Users/verzani/.julia/Gtk/src/Gtk.jl, in expression starting on line 148

time to upgrade?

I prefer to keep compatibility with Gtk+ 2

While I agree that Gtk+ 2 compatibility should be preserved (sorry for not paying attention in my commit) I have to say that it will be kind of hard to cover all parts of Gtk+2 as there are many deprecated things that would have to be implemented. My personal view is that it is more important to make it very easy on Win/Mac to get the gtk3 libs than to put effort in implementing deprecated API.

I don't plan on covering any of the deprecated parts -- just maintaining basic compatibility.
