It would be nice if lightspark could use the new features of gtk3.
I tried already to compile with gtk3 instead of gtk2.
My results:
The good thing: The compilation worked (I had to include just one library). Maybe very few things need to be ported.

The bad thing:
As far as I see gtk3 doesn't run beyond a gtk2 program like firefox. But these programs are migrating already.
Firefox:

The same with chromium:

And epiphany is already gtk3.

I haven't tested lightspark as a standalone application yet. Also I haven't checked the source code for deprecated libraries and functions.
