The main problem is that the OS X native GTK development stalled out and nobody from that side has been making it easy to pick back up contributing.

When it was still moving forward under Imendio I was able to work on fixing things like clipboard and tablet support. It since went out, though I could still find easy ways to *use* native gtk on osx. The actual path to changing gtk itself got obscured.

I also had a hard-drive failure since I last was making progress on it, so I don't have old history and checkouts to guide me in figuring new things out on my own.
