We discussed that in #u-release; it is a fairly large and risky change,
but as we can revert it with a single line change (flip the default in
the .desktop file), let's try this for beta-1, and revert if it causes
too many regressions.

Its still using the gtk2 version as default but it got a ton of fixes
and improvements and it would be nice if that version could be
considered for gtk3 by default. Just run software-center-gtk3 to test it
on a current oneiric box.
Hello, thanks for your comments.
It is indeed a large UI change. But its building on the gtk2 and backend
foundations so while it looks radically different

I have been testing the GTK3 version heavily. This list is mostly
GTK3-specific bugs reported by me and others, though it includes some
that affect GTK2 as well: http://ur1.ca/4y6zr Many of them have been
fixed already. Michael could judge this better than me, but at this
