Actually, the issue only arose when I tried compiling my program on a Mac.
I agree, it's probably not an issue on most Linux boxes.  Maybe it'll be
easier to just specify that Mac users need to install GTK+-3.0 to run it.
(Now I just have to convince my wife that that isn't why her new Mac has
suddenly started locking up and acting strange.  I _have_ been hacking
around with it a bit...)
