I'm sure I'm not alone in my desire to have an "old school" GTK2 style desktop. I miss that simple, utilitarian, window manager look and feel.

Indeed! Although MATE could do the trick in recreating GNOME2 and some of these utilitarian L&F of the past.

GTK2 may be dead but no forgotten...

FixedSys Excelsior should be part of GNOME2.

GNOME 2.32 is excellent for producing great old-time desktops.
