Yes, eventually.  One problem is that it would require Glib 1.23x which 
is not on CPAN (I forgot that when I uploaded G:O:I, which also depends 
on Glib 1.23x).  Right now, Gtk3 could use some more eyes that look for 
missing overrides.  (Likely candidates are whatever has custom xsubs in 
Gtk2, or has overrides in pygobject.)  Also, I'd like to get the dialog 
response ID stuff working first (will likely require XS :-/).  And a 
port of the new-fangled gtk-demo would also be nice.  Help welcome.

Finally, we could also do with another release engineer who would try to 
get us back onto some kind of schedule.  Florian, who volunteered for 
this some time ago, is currently busy releasing perl itself.
