For the record, I pushed the gtk-2.90 branch now, it "almost" compiles,
that is I need to fix GtkInputDialog which uses deprecated functions
and a few tests also still use old API.

Anybody is welcome to help out, preferrably poke here or poke me in
#gtk+ (kalikiana) before so we don't end up duplicating work.

I rebased the branch once so far, Emanuelle offered to do that in the
future.

There's also http://live.gnome.org/GTK+/3.0/Tasks in the wiki. What I
did so far is #Q0, creating the branch, and #Q1, removing deprecated
code.
