About the file manager, the current code of libfm and pcmanfm in git
can be compiled against gtk+ 3 already.
It's less well-tested and contained some potential bugs, though.
Developers are encouraged to test them but they're not ready for production use.
Regarding to the panel, the old lxpanel is not compatible with gtk+3.
A replacement done with full gtk+ 3 support, lxpanel2, is still a work
in progress and it's not yet usable.
I worked in the emergency room this month and is really busy.
Next month, I'll get some free time for lxpanel2.

Cheers!
