Problem with thunderbird and gmail due to gtk

[joneall]

I cannot make Thunderbird work with IMAP gmail because of a known bug at t-bird 60.9.0, which seems to be the default for Neon at the moment. Mozilla has a correction, level 60.9.1, but it requires GTK+ 3.4 or higher. The highest I see from dpkg --get-selections is

libgtk-3-0:amd64                                install
libgtk-3-bin                                    install
libgtk-3-common

Mozilla says

Thunderbird will not run at all without the following libraries or packages:

 GTK+ 3.4 or higher
 GLib 2.22 or higher
 Pango 1.14 or higher
 X.Org 1.0 or higher (1.7 or higher is recommended)
 libstdc++ 4.6.1 or higher

Will we be getting GTK+ 3.4 anytime soon? Does that depend on the LTS basis of Neon?

This doesn't mean version 3.0, the current version of gtk3 in neon user stable is 3.22 (well above 3.4)

Aha, thanks. So since I installed thunderbird using apt-get, I need to wait for Kubuntu to update it.
