- There is no 2.12, 2.11 has just branched.

- 2.10.3 has the ps/pdf unbroken and should work nicely accept for
  some long standing shortcomings.

- 2.10.x does require gtk-2.6 but it is not a strong requirement.
  Ideed, it could easily be downgraded if desired. It uses one
  signal from gtk-2.6 for a chunk of code that does not work
  terribly well (drag-n-drop reordering in preview) in 2.10
