The question is, how do I test whether it works or not? About the only widgets I recognize as gtk3 are the insanely narrow scrollbars in e.g. Firefox or Gimp, which, along with SeaMonkey, which I only use with it's unique modern theme that disregards environmental themes, are the only gtk apps I'm aware of that I ever use. They're so bloated I don't install them on test boxes. What can I use to test?
GTK3 comes with several demo programs, although I can't be sure your distro installs them. Try calling gtk3-demo or gtk3-widget-factory at the command line.

I'm not sure how your package manager works, but these are not separate packages, they're minor binaries installed as part of the gtk+ package. Try "which gtk3-demo" rather than anything more elaborate.
