Hi there. I just tried out the Eclipse Finder at a friend's machine. Since I do not want to use KDE I wonder if there will be an Eclipse Finder in the GTK version too?
greetings

That's unlikely unless you code it yourself or find (/pay) someone to code it for you.
As I've already said, at the moment there is no active developer working on GTK. I guess if a GTK developer were interested in working on Celestia his first task would be porting it to GTK2 before implementing anything new.

KDE and GTK are the current two competing desktop environments (roughly the equivalent of the MFC but higher level, a bit like .NET) on Unix systems.
The Linux version of Celestia was initialy written for/with GTK, this version has no active maintainer at the moment. The up to date version of Celestia for Linux uses KDE, but just like you can run a GTK app under Windows (e.g. The Gimp) you can run a KDE app under GTK or a GTK app under KDE.

Sorry Christophe to add a little bit to your explanations. Concerning GTK I would rather say that gtk is an X-toolkit library and not a desktop, really. The desktop that uses it heavily and competes with KDE is called GNOME. It is for example advocated/supported by the RedHat Linux distribution. The GTK-Celestia version in fact requires also the gnome library.
Since I used to develop quite a bit of code for the gtk Linux version, I agree, of course, will all your other statements about GTK-celestia.
