Sure enough, it works with Wireshark!  Still buggy though on the menu 
handling and lists on the screen update really slowly (such as the 
packet list or expert info).  Any feature I tried worked though. :)

The trick to compiling with this GTK is following the install directions 
and using the script from the Imendio site and then setting some 
environment variables to tell it to use pkgconfig, gtk, etc. from the 
special directory you put it in.  The 
--with-gtk-prefix=/--with-gtk-exec-prefix configure options are only for 
GTK1 it turns out.
