Well, as a Debian developer, I don't fancy maintaining old libraries because 
some old programs are not ported to newer libraries.

Yes, but I get a lot of deprecation warnings when compiling pan with Gtk3.

And eventually, I may port pan to Gtk4. But this won't happen until I get rid 
of all warnings.

Keep in mind that I don't have infinite time to work on Pan, so I prefer to 
reduce the code base when it makes sense. That's why I got rid of Gtk2 code 
and removed systray support which are both deprecated.

I've seen this library, it would lock pan with gtk3.

All the best
