Hi,
This is really great that you successfully port GtkGLArea to GTK+3. A lot
of people are using it and I think it could help them to use GTK+3 instead
of GTK+2. But, actually, I'm not using GtkGLArea for three reason :
1) I'm so sorry, It's a huge mess I can't find the very interesting (and
very old) message from old.nabble.com where some people was explaining why
GtkGLArea was not well designed to be integrated in GTK+.
2) https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=689759
3) gcc -o glx glx.o `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-3.0 gl` -lX11

I'm not sure this is the kind of feedback you're expected for but this is
what I'm thinking about GtkGLArea. The only problem about my example is
that you need "-lX11" in gcc and the X11's lib is really difficult to
compile for Windows.
