One possibility is that Racket was working with GTK3 before, but GTK3 broke that (or broke your GTK3 theme) in a newer version.  I've heard developer complaints about this, and about engineering culture changes and politics.

Firefox might be a good example to look at.  Some URLs that don't involve cursing or intrigue:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/firefox#Firefox_looks_bad_with_GTK.2B_.3E.3D3.20
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1268234

I no longer have a good long-term recommendation for open source desktop GUI toolkits; maybe next year.  For now, I go to some trouble to use GTK2 apps whenever possible.

The good news: for most of us developers using Racket on GNU/Linux, one nice side-effect of the Racket cross-platform desktop GUI stuff is that we don't have to decide whether to code for GTK2/GTK3/Qt/etc. -- we can shift all that pain onto Matthew, et al. :)
