I noticed a couple of differences in Emacs’ behaviour since moving to the 
GTK build.

1) The -nw option now seems mandatory to run on a text terminal; before, 
it could figure out there was no display server and automatically fall 
back to text mode.
2) Emacs has lost the ability to distinguish the numeric keypad keys from 
the main keyboard. I had custom commands assigned to num-hyphen and num-
plus, but those keys now just insert literal hyphen and plus characters, 
so I had to redefine my command keystrokes.

Both are minor things, I guess.
