Over the last days we have been pushing some patches that remove/port 
custom widgets and replaced a few hippo based implementations with 
vanilla-gtk-based ones:

- Replace the hippo-based TimeoutIcon with one based on a gtk.Label and 
gtk.Alignment

- Replace our custom entry widget with one based on gtk.Entry

- Use a standard gtk.Entry instead of the custom AddressEntry  from the 
toolkit

- Toolbox: replace the hippo based separator with a gtk.HSeparator

- pending: Gonzalo's 'improve the startup animation' patch that does 
remove the hippo dependency from the launcher as a nice side effect.

The plan is to make the toolkit hippo free, port the custom widgets over 
and then port it to gtk3. As there have been several no-hippo branches 
around I would suggest that parts that can be removed easily (e.g. the 
intro screen in the shell) are submitted for review and then we can push 
them to master as we go. This should make reviewing and landing easier 
and give us the feeling of advancing on a steady basis.
