New issue 244 by [email protected]: Port to gtk+ 3
http://code.google.com/p/solfege/issues/detail?id=244

When should we port Solfege to gtk+ 3.0?

Releasing versions for gtk+ 2 and 3 in parallel are possible, but this  
require us committing lots of small changes to the gtk+ 2 version of the  
source code that make the pygi-install script work. For example adding lots  
of temporary variables that I don't want to have in any versions of the  
source code.

So I think the preferred strategy will be to drop gtk2 support when  
porting. Maintaining two versions manually is too much work.

The question is when shall we do this? Which Linux distros have stable  
releases that include gtk+ 3 and a recent enough pygobject (2.28??)? And  
which distros do we need to care about?

  * Fedora 15 have the required libs. I used this to port a few exercise  
modules.
  * Debian don't, will probably not release until 2013.
  * What about Ubuntu? October 2011?

And then there is MS Windows... We need precompiled binaries. Stackoverflow  
have some info:
