You can use the not-often-heard-about GDK_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED macro to
get rid of these deprecation warnings if you want.  You can then either
define it or not at compile time (say when in debug mode) to decide
whether you want to receive a chronicle of what is not going to work in
gtk+-4.

For example this:

#define GDK_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED GDK_VERSION_3_0

will silence warnings about anything deprecated after gtk-3.0.0 came
out.  Generally you should set the macro to the minimum gtk+ version
that you require for the project in question.
