gtk2 of course.
But wading through the xemacs src I didn't see much of interest, so 
forget it. They load both libs at startup and discriminate then between 
the different GI libs. As gerrit suggested.

But for I gtk I would recommend keeping the same names and API and load 
only one .so. If DISPLAY is defined or not.

Shouldn't this belong to the gtk devel list?
