Yes, there are plans. The problem right now is that Windows and
PyGObject Introspection (which is required for Gtk 3) don't work so
well the last time I checked. One option would be to duplicate the
current Gtk 2 codebase and offer "two" Gtk UIs (one Gtk2 based on
PyGtk and one Gtk3 based on GObject Introspection - we could switch
between them the same way we now switch between QML and Gtk). There's
even the old "tres-gtk3" branch on Git, which is a first try I once
did trying to convert the codebase to use Gtk3.
When the switch to Gtk3 happens, you still don't need a "GTK3-based
Desktop", all you need is Gtk 3 and Python GObject Introspection. The
nice thing about that will be that we'll get Python 3 support "for
free" in terms of the Gtk UI (PyGTK doesn't support Python 3, Python
GObject Introspection does).
Thanks,
Thomas
