Note that GTK3 has generally problems with mouse support and evdev X
driver. There are also some troubles with flickering Displays in some
configurations.

It doesn't look like the GTK3 people would care about the troubles,
users have. I don't see that this would change in future. But the fact
that GTK2 is not really improved anymore and many people insist in
features, that are only available in GTK3 build (like map support or
HD displays), it might be the best to build it with GTK3.

However, at least for the first bug above, that is the most sever one,
there is a workaround and I think, that should be mentioned in the
Debian README (or even use it in a wrapper starting Geeqie). A `export
GDK_CORE_DEVICE_EVENTS=1` does factually disable the special handling,
GTK3 is doing with input devices and give back a working mouse support.

Regards
