For the recent few years GTK 3 can be thought of as GNOME ToolKit as
its developers are from the GNOME project and bug reports have been met
with retorts from devs such as 'you need to decide if you're a GNOME
project or not', or 'what's an Xfce?' GTK 3 is a dead end for anything
not GNOME by design.
