Yes, the buttons work correctly with gtk3 = 3.1.x but shows up
corrupted with gtk3 = 3.0.x

Since it is meant for factory, which will have gtk3 > 3.1 anyway, I
think it is alright. It is perhaps a gtk3 (3.0.x) bug rather than
anything to do with yast2-gtk at all.

I did see that screencast and it looked really cool, esp. the fact
that it could be pretty easily done simply because of the gtk3
technologies! I too hope yast3 is progressing and progressing well,
otherwise YaST may not be able to catchup with latest tech at all (for
example, on tablets/high end smartphones webyast might be the only way
to go).
