Apologies for asking this question and then never following up.  It's been

Now that you've reminded me of this, I'm fairly sure I've asked this
before and you already replied and I forgot.  Thank you for the
information!

Given this, I'll just keep using GTK 2.  We're not in any hurry to delete
the GTK 2 code entirely.  Hopefully someone will feel like finishing the
port to GTK 3 before it's entirely unsupported.
