I much agree with this. Once the redesign is finished we can build the
new UI on top of the new gtk3 foundations. I really hope that we get
better API docs for python/gtk3 too. I will raise this next week again
with the pygi folks.

I played with it a bit and its pretty cool that so much works already!
I will have a closer look next week and hopefully merge it into trunk
so that we can work on it in parallel with the rest of the code.

For now I would like to keep the gtk2 UI but basicly move it into
maintenance mode without new UI elements (the last outstanding branch
that touches the UI is the modify-review one iirc that needs to get
merged in soon).

Then once gtk3 is stable (enough) we can remove gtk2. 

Cheers,
 Michael
