GNOME 3.9 coming to PPA?

[Adam Dingle]

A followup: I installed GTK 3.9 from Rico's PPA and it works, app menu and
all!  I'm not saying that everyone should install this on their machine
right away :) but it seems to be fine for me.  So this is exactly what I
was looking for - thanks for the pointer.
