The official release is still GTK2.  All the GTK2 calls that have been<br>
deprecated in GTK3 have not yet been replaced in Geany, so the GTK3 compile<br>
isn&#39;t &quot;clean&quot;.<br>
<br>
Until recent GTK3s the performance was also noticably poorer than GTK2, and<br>
LTS distros may not yet have upgraded to a performant version.<br>
<br>
So for now the GTK3 Geany isn&#39;t quite suitable for being the default build.<br>
<br>
There is nothing stopping distro packagers packaging the GTK3 version of<br>
course, and I think some bleeding edge distros have done just that.<br>

&gt; Okay, thanks. Then perhaps my issues are related to something else.<br>
&gt; However, why does Geany&#39;s homepage state that Geany uses GTK2 (<br>
&gt; http://geany.org/)?<br>
