It is currently not an issue, configure checks for gtk+-2.0, so 3.0 isn't 
considered yet.  Also, other libraries (rsvg, gconf possibly dbus) must also 
be moved forward.

Apart from that, it is the question of how old Gtk+ we should support. 
Currently we say 2.6 (which is really old) or newer.  Most accessor functions 
in Gtk+ where introduced in 2.14, some in 2.16, and in one case, 2.20.

We could add #ifdef:s, but I rather not do that unless we really need to.

That said, I have a private branch that works with Gtk+ 3.0, and some of the 
fixes there can go in the trunk.  Maybe we should bump required to 2.14 and 
get most of the work checked in.
