It is going to appear in 2.90.2 today. Colin wants it to land in 2.22
as well, but I am not convinced. The hurdle for switching to GTK3 is
not high...

gtk3 is the next version of GTK+ I don't think any blessing is needed,
really. We're making the transition as easy as possible for

I don't know about the availability of gtk 2.90.x in other distros.
