Some desktop updates for this cycle

[Adam Dingle]

One more point.  With GTK 3.10 from the PPA, I'm unable to build 
Epiphany 3.6 or even 3.8 - I see errors like these:

===
ephy-location-entry.c:584:36: error: 'GTK_STOCK_CLEAR' undeclared 
(first use in this function)
  image = gtk_image_new_from_stock (GTK_STOCK_CLEAR, 
GTK_ICON_SIZE_MENU);
                                    ^

ephy-location-entry.c:591:2: error: implicit declaration of function 
'gtk_image_menu_item_new_with_mnemonic' 
[-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
  clear_menuitem = gtk_image_menu_item_new_with_mnemonic (_("Cl_ear"));
  ^
===

I have to update to Epiphany 3.10 to get a working build.  This means 
that if you update to GTK 3.10 in Trusty, you may be forced to upgrade 
Epiphany (and perhaps other GNOME apps?) to 3.10 too.  And so they'll 
look out of place on the Ubuntu desktop unless you do add their 
menubars back in this release.
