I've checked in a change to the autoconf script so that, if --disable-wireshark wasn't specified:

        if *no* GUI toolkit was specified, use only GTK+ 3;

        if *both* GTK+ 2 *and* GTK+ 3 were specified, fail;

        otherwise, build with the toolkits that were specified.

We could instead, if no GUI toolkit was specified, use GTK+ 3 if it's available, otherwise use GTK+ 2, but the output 
of the scripts that check for versions of GTK+ is *REALLY* ugly, and potentially confusing, if the check fails (the 
failure message might make users think a fatal failure happened and report it, rather than something else, as the 
problem they're seeing).
