To follow up, it seems it will be quite a long road before mainstream
distributions can use wx3 with GTK3. Longer explanation available here:
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/freewx-maint/2016-January/001751.html

So it seems in short term the only thing worth doing is upgrading to wx3,
built against GTK2 as usual for the Linux build. Please let me know if
there is anything I can do to make that happen.
