Port GTK+ modules to GTK+ 3
Some GNOME modules install GTK+ modules. Since GTK+ 3 will be parallel-installable with GTK+ 2.x, the two have separate locations for their loadable modules. The location for GTK+ 2.x is $libdir/gtk-2.0 (and its subdirectories), for GTK+ 3, the location is $libdir/gtk-3.0 (and its subdirectories). For some kinds of modules, namely im modules and pixbuf loaders, GTK+ keeps a cache file with extra information about the modules. These cache files are located in $sysconfdir/gtk-2.0 for GTK+ 2.x. For GTK+ 3, they have been moved to $libdir/gtk-3.0/3.0.0/. The commands that create these cache files have been renamed with a -3 suffix to make them parallel-installable.
Note that GTK+ modules often link against libgtk, libgdk-pixbuf, etc. If that is the case for your module, you have to be careful to link the GTK+ 2.x version of your module against the 2.x version of the libraries, and the GTK+ 3 version against the 3.x versions. Loading a module linked against libgtk 2.x into an application using GTK+ 3 will lead to unhappiness and must be avoided.
The objective of this Gnome goal is to make these modules available for both GTK+ 2.x and GTK+ 3.
