+  <title>Use accessor funcions instead direc access</title>
+  <para>
+    GTK+ 3 removed many implementation details and struct members from
+    its public headers. To ensure that your application will not have problems
+    with this, you can define the preprocessor symbol GSEAL_ENABLE. This will
+    make the compiler catch all uses of direct access to struct fields so that
+    you can go through them one by one and replace them with a call to an
+    accessor function instead.
+    <programlisting>
+    make CFLAGS+="-DGSEAL_ENABLE"
+    </programlisting>

+  <title>GTK+ Modules</title>
+  <para>
+    Some GNOME modules install GTK+ modules. Since GTK+ 3 will be
+    parallel-installable with GTK+ 2.x, the two have separate locations for
+    their loadable modules. The location for GTK+ 2.x is $libdir/gtk-2.0
+    (and its subdirectories), for GTK+ 3, the location is $libdir/gtk-3.0
+    (and its subdirectories).
+  </para>
+  <para>
+    For some kinds of modules, namely im modules and pixbuf loaders,
+    GTK+ keeps a cache file with extra information about the modules.
+    These cache files are located in $sysconfdir/gtk-2.0 for GTK+ 2.x.
+    For GTK+ 3, they have been moved to $libdir/gtk-3.0/3.0.0/.
+    The commands that create these cache files have been renamed with a -3
+    suffix to make them parallel-installable.
+  </para>
+  <para>
+    Note that GTK+ modules often link against libgtk, libgdk-pixbuf, etc.
+    If that is the case for your module, you have to be careful to link the
+    GTK+ 2.x version of your module against the 2.x version of the libraries,
+    and the GTK+ 3 version against hte 3.x versions. Loading a module linked
+    against libgtk 2.x into an application using GTK+ 3 will lead to
+    unhappiness and must be avoided.
