Well, what do you mean by 'use it', exactly? F17 has GTK+ 3.4. 3.5 is a
new major version - it's not API/ABI compatible. If you were going to
backport it to F17 you'd have to either install it alongside 3.4 - in
which case you would not, in practice, be 'using it', it'd just be
sitting there - or recompile all (or at least some) of the GTK+ apps you
run against 3.5. That's a major undertaking and would leave you with a
system that was rather diverged from F17.

That's why I say it would be a bad idea...
