In 3.0 the gtk-engines module in the modulesets targets GTK+ 2, the
master branch were ported to GTK+ 3 at some point but didn't follow
recent changes, I didn't check now but probably it doesn't build.  The
theme for GTK+ 3 is developed in gnome-themes-standard.

The patch to -2.32 is correct, please push it.
