When we said that GTK is not supported, (1) is not an official decision, I
think, (2) we mean the pure GTK *backend*.  We fully support the GTKAgg
backend, which is superior to the GTK backend in every way.  Please try
v1.1.0 before continuing.  There were many important changes to mplot3d
between v1.0.1 and v1.1.0.
