I'll try and focus on getting gtk3 updated on my box this evening.
When does the code freeze start? I've hesitated so far because I
wasn't sure how this would affect gtk3's other dependencies when I go
and uninstall the current package and then try and put in a
replacement from git or something.  If the 3.0.14 release is available
as a regular tar ball, I can upgrade my package more easily.  More
later....
