You have to ask the person who introduced this to Gtk. I don't feel I'm the correct person to express opinions about Gtk port.

As for Qt port:
Qt socket API cannot provide the features needed, and it's anyway more robust to use the direct low-level API calls for such a low-level feature as IPC. The datagram based implementation is IMHO superior to the stream based implementation for the rationale given already in this bug entry. As such, again in my opinion, it would be sad choise to regress the current implementation.
