Hi,
I'm sorry I should have provided more details, with the patch it is possible to build a GTK3 version 
With these limitations:
- UI_MANAGER must be enabled.
- gtkvumeter must NOT be built
- rtp_player must NOT be built
- tcp_graph requires a "brutal" patch or not to be built.
- iax2_analysis.c    restore functionality
- io_stat.c          restore functionality
- rtp_analysis.c     restore functionality
- main_welcome.c     colors need fixes
But beeing able to build it it's possible to verify changes rather than just blindly try to make it compile.

In GTK2 to be able to use -DGDK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED, which also blocks the points above:
(I currently don't know how to fix these)
- gtkvumeter.c must be fixed or disabled.
- tcp_graph.c the "arc" and the crosshairs code nust be fixed.
- rtp_player.c the moving cursor must be fixed, the player also crashes when "play" is pressed pre-existing bug?
- Once above fixed use cairo_surface_t instead of pixmaps.

Regards
Anders
