While I am happy to see that these games work with GTK+ 3 now, I am
not really convinced that this kind of feature enablement is the
really code freeze material. It seems that we could just as well do
this in 3.0.1. There's always the possibility of unanticipated
problems caused by this, such as terrible lo-res icons showing up and
ruining the effort of our icon ninjas to polish the application
overview...
