Description

Gtk is transitioning from version 2 to 3, and we would like to remain future proof. However, Gtk+3 is not really usable on Windows, so Gtk+2 should be used there, while Gtk+3 can (and should?) be used on Linux. Decide which versions to use where and how.

Gtk+3 does not work well on Windows yet. However, it is possible to import Gtk+3 via PyGObject on Linux as a module named "gtk" and do the same with Gtk+2 via PyGTK. So the code can be made to work with both with some care. On Linux, Gtk+3 will be used, on Windows Gtk+2 for now.
