I already pushed a branch in the git repository with the GTK+3 port [1]
Sorry, I didnt know those patches already exist.
In my approach I removed the support for GTK+2 and focus in GTK+3 only.
I will take a look to the patch and see how we can combine our work ;)
Everything seems to work but the zkor example, not sure yet why. So if
you have any idea it would be great!
I also plan to change the namespace [2] of the api to not conflict
with future GTK+ work on this.

Cheers!
