There are actually two main GTK toolkit versions: GTK2 and GTK3. There is also QT (think KDE). Xfce is still mostly GTK2 - but the next major release is going to be a port to GTK3. See: https://wiki.xfce.org/releng/4.14/roadmap
Is it possible to convince XFCE to use libraries provided by MATE as a derivative of Gnome 2, instead of using those provided by Gnome 3? Or to tweak a config file to specify explicitly whichever GTK version to use? Or both?
Currently Xfce supports both GTK2 and GTK3. Most of the core Xfce apps are still GTK2. I believe Mate is also based on the same GTK2 libraries. Much of this, however, depends on the application that you use. If the application has been ported to GTK3, then it will use the GTK3 libraries.
My understanding is that Xfce and Mate have more in common than they are different.
