Not exactly, the code is rather old so deprecation warnings are
expected :). Ideally I'd like to drop support for Gtk 2.0 before fixing
those. It would make the code lot cleaner, and reduce testing pain.

I'm more after build failures and runtime issues. Anything that used to
work but doesn't work with Gtk3. And issues when the application is
installed first time (lot of data/config files are now different).

Playing around with different frontends and different kind of files
should be enough to test the core functionality. Also using valgrind or
asan could be nice, those usually find issues that cause only random
crashes.
