Bug#824891: gtk+3.0: latest version breaks external themes

[D. B.]

Yup, I'm beginning to think it'd be good if Debian reverted to 3.18 until
3.20 is less broken. The latter will be great when it's ACTUALLY ready -
but right now, it's a rushed-out, poorly tested mess in various areas.
Maybe they felt meeting some deadline took precedence over actually testing
everything.

Including my application, which was going so well until 3.20 arrived... sigh
