This doesn’t work yet, we require Gtk 3.0 rather than 2.0 and the API

Thanks for the patches.  Most of changes look good, but also most of
patches have no change log at all.  That's already a bad sign.

Could you give some details, especially why the change is needed, in
each patch and resubmit as a patchset?  At best, send with a cover
letter and a thread as a patch set at the next time (git-send-email
can manage it well).

In my opinion, the aim of this patchset is porting from Gtk+2.0 to Gtk+3.0, according to EOL of python bindings. Original script uses PyGtk[1], which is an application of Gtk+2.0, but PyGtk is already at the end of life and usage of PyGObject[2] to access to metadata of Gtk+3.0 is a fresh way instead. In this point, Emmanuel's proposal is preferable in 2018.

Anyway, I encourage Emmanuel to re-post this patchset with enough comment according to maintainer's advice. I'll review his next post for merging.
