The whither package is awful, but really useful though. Nobody uses it except for this program, so why keep it? Problems coming from this package would require to update whither along with this program, which is a unnecesary extra step.
As this whither package is not inside any distro repository, it just creates lots of problems when trying to install. And it's not mantained by anyone.
The GTK toolkit feature won't ever come; this program is actually using lots of things from the QT framework, so it's less posible to adapt this to GTK.
Possible solutions
Move all the necessary code from whither to web-greeter, and that's it!
