Everything can be done with ongoing GTK2 support. It's just a question 
of how different the two code paths are and the associated maintenance 
effort. There will, for a long time to come, a GTK2 compatible build 
even if we are going to use GTK3 features more.

But we should bump, at some point, the min. GTK2 version because that 
has APIs more similar to GTK3. Actually, in my opinion, ASAP so that we 
can merge the changebar work of Matthew.

Best regards.
