Support for GTK v3

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Ever thought about to support GTK3 apps? Well, currently we have just a handful 
apps who are based strictly on GTK3. But in the nearest future, more GNOME 
modules will switch to it. I've tested it with the Glabels v2.3.1, which 
doesn't compile anymore with GTK2. The global menubar doesn't work yet. The 
test environment was an Archlinux system. Next days i will test it under Ubuntu 
Maverick (with JHBuild versions of glib and gtk3), but I don't expect to get it 
working.

In addition to support for gtk3 apps, it wud be great if the applet is ported 
to gnome-panel 3(which doesn't use bonobo and all CORBA technologies). Since 
gnome3 now provides a fallback mode, we will have an advantage of having one of 
the first applets to be ported to the new panel.

Wow, gnome-globalmenu is back! Many thanks. I will test it tomorrow. But I 
don't use gnome-shell. Hope it is intended to work in gnome-panel v3.

Oops. I only wrote the extension for GnomeShell. I thought gnome-panel was 
deprecated. Did people get rid of the bonobo dependency in libpanel-applet?

The panel isn't deprecated, it is still alive. But it has been migrated to 
GSettings and GTK3, along with the rest of Gnome, too.

Does this mean that the current "stable" (0.7) won't get GTK 3 support? I am 
using Global Menu with XFCE (and, as I understand it, 0.9 is meant only for 
Gnome 3), but I have quite a few GTK 3 apps installed that would look much 
better with Global Menu support.

The 0.9.x branch lacks the GTK menu widget representation - i only wrote the 
GnomeShell representation. 

Writing a GTK representation isn't difficult. The challenge is elsewhere: Most 
code in the 0.7.x applet was actually dealing with window managing. 

The code base of 0.9.x branch is very much simplified because GnomeShell took 
care of all of the window managing mess. and I am not very willing to maintain 
the wm related code - it's too hardcore and complicated.

I have gnome-panel 2.32.1, gnome 2.32.1 and gtk+-3.0.12-r1 (runing on Gentoo). 
Is there any way to get it working?
