Hey John,

I can help with the test against gtk3.  I am currently using gtk3 on my
home system although I have not yet tried to build with gtk3 and
phoenix.  I'm not sure Debian supports this yet because I believe
wxwidgets used to build phoenix is 3.1.1 or later where wxwidgets is
3.0.4 which would cause run time issues although I could be wrong about
this.

Cheers,

Wayne
