 With regard to your recent changes - why did you upgrade two ports to
 their unstable versions (atk, gdk-pixbuf2)? Usually it is save to rely on
 MacPorts to install the stable release versions and use separate devel
 ports if one wants to test a development branch.

 Also, why are now three apparently random ports configured with '--enable-
 introspection=yes' whereas the rest of the gtk2-related dependencies are
 not? On the homepage for [http://live.gnome.org/GObjectIntrospection
 GObject Introspection] it explicitly says in the first sentence:
 > '''Note: GObject Introspection is still in development''' - the first
 stable release is scheduled for release with GTK+ 3.

 If you need introspection enabled for building the just released gtk3,
 could this be handled in variants, or separate ports, without affecting
 gtk2 appplications? AFAIU it will take quite a while before gtk3 can
 "replace" gtk2, and some applications maybe never upgrade to gtk3.
