guile-gtk is 1.2-based. As David said, guile-gnome has been based on the
2.x libraries since the beginning.

I've been distracted this past year, and hindered a bit by Guile
troubles on my main devel box (an x86-64 system). Also using Arch has
been a bit of a clusterfuck, inasmuch as whenever I want to hack I
forget how things work.

Now that Guile 1.8 is out I'll be looking at threading issues soon. I
want to update the GStreamer bindings to cover GStreamer 0.10, which is
heavily threaded. It built against 1.7 a month ago or so, so I expect
there won't be too many problems. We should convert to the new SCM<->C
conversion API though.

Other than that things should just work. If there is a problem send a
bug report, or better a patch.

(You seem to be bumping into the scheme syndrome for the first time --
there are few hackers. Individuals make a huge difference in the scheme
world, just because there's not all that many people making tools. You
can be a part of that :)
