It's not clear to me it has libX11 - or at least, while we may ship it,
it may become useless.  One of the major motivators for GTK3 was to
prepare for an X-less future.

I suppose though, realistically, for the forseeable future we'll need to
ship X though, at least in a demand-activated configuration.

How long we ship GTK+-2 is a related question.

Anyways for the purposes of discussion here, let's assume GTK3 is stable
and we'll ship it forever?

Third party themes are totally different from apps; they're
"extensions".
