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

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.
I have read enough! Forget GTK3 (and GTK4).
Quote: "Meanwhile, Gtk 4.0 will not be the final stable API of what we
would call “Gtk 4”. Each 6 months, the new release (Gtk 4.2, Gtk 4.4,
Gtk 4.6) will break API and ABI vs. the release that came before it."
I was considering helping to implement the GTK 3 widget set in Lazarus
but after some studies and reading I think we might better put our
energy in the QT 5 implementation.
After 32 years of graphical desktops on Unix we still have no stable
widget set! :-(
