Yeah, in the case where multiple options can be selected then checkboxes is a better UI.

It should be possible to do it to both versions, but possibly not the same code.  There are CERTAIN people `</troll>` who say you should `#ifdef ` different code for GTK2 and GTK3, but I think its entirely up to the PR writer, so long as they don't break the other GTK version, extra functionality should be acceptable even if its for only one GTK version.
