The most modern one is not always the best one. I am not sure about
gtk+-2 version but it is likely similar to the gtk+-1 version.
However gtk+-1 is all in all smaller and thus less error prone.
I won't use qt for security reasons - it is huge and has the secure
entry widget seems to be very complicated.

Anyway, it is up to a distribution or user to select the symlink.
