Sadly the GTK+ devs do not seem to care much about backwards compatibility and love to break stuff every other version.
Check this blog post which summarizes the issues https://davmac.wordpress.com/2016/07/05/why-do-we-keep-building-rotten-foundations/ IMO GTK+ 2 is the last good GTK+ version and hopefully someone (maybe the MATE devs) will fork it and add support for the needed stuff. GTK+ 3.0+ is not reliable.
