Remove conditional compilation for GTK+ 3.12.
Comment 3 Michael Gratton 2016-04-09 15:18:34 UTC 
GTK+ >= 3.12 is available in the following releases (or better):

 - Ubuntu 15.04 (Vivid)
 - Debian stable (Jessie)
 - Fedora 21
 - openSUSE 13.2

So, for distro versions still getting security and or software updates, depending on 3.12 would mean losing support for Trusty LTS and openSUSE 13.1 evergreen. Trusty is EOL in April 2019 and openSUSE 13.1 at the end 2016. We have already lost support for Ubuntu Precise by depending on 3.10, even though it is not EOL until next year.
Comment 4 Michael Gratton 2016-04-21 04:20:36 UTC 
Since no still-supported distro that I know of actually ships 3.12, we may as well bump the minimum version of GTK 3.14 and its dependencies to whatever it requires.
