A simple change would be to list GTK3 first, and to put a paranthetical note after GTK2 saying something like, "(GTK2 is no longer recommended, as the libraries are unmaintained and this version may ultimately need to be deprecated)". A simple reorganization of the Downloads page like that would probably flip a lot of users over to the GTK3 version.

I would just put GTK3 first and just say "GTK3 (Recommended)" and then "GTK2" second. Saying "it may ultimately need to be deprecated" will probably make a lot of existing users who specifically want GTK 2 support think we are saying we will eventually drop support completely when that isn't the intention.
