Yes.

Yup, I presume the tradition continues - break all themes with every release.

I haven't yet installed gtk 3.10, so I've only been sporadically investigating
what is newly-deprecated in there. The stock-items stuff I've mentioned before,
on this list.
You might try a fresh checkout from svn. That will probably fix most, or maybe
even all, of the problems you encountered. At a cost, though. Current gtk
themes probably won't yet have replacements for gtk's default icons. Having
relied on those up to now, you'll see buttons, menus etc without icons, or with
missing-icon icons. On the plus side, there will be a squillion other icons
available from the default theme, which can be selected for use in the
toolbars. Maybe I can find a way to keep the deprecated stock-items in play,
without causing so much compiler-verbage.
I don't know why your build wouldn't link. Although you got lots of warnings, I
didn't see any errors. It's possible that this gtk actually discarded one or
two things by mistake, instead of deprecating.
