I had to install libgtk-3-dev to make lazarus 5 working. I use MATE and GTK 2 works perfectly on it.

Yeah right now Gtk2 works fine with Lazarus.

Will libgtk-3 be used by MATE ?

MATE is already using gtk3 for a long time now, but that isn't related to Lazarus. Lazarus doesn't use anything specific to desktop environments.

How long will lazarus maintain GTK 2 ?

My guess, for as long as people submit patches (same as for Gtk3 and anything else really, it is all community driven :-P). Personally i send the occasional patch for Gtk1 and Gtk2 - Gtk1 should also work and if the LGPL rules around static linking are fine for you, you can even use it to create self-contained binaries for Linux that depend only on X11 (though i have some patches for Gtk1 itself to make it build again after some recent change in GCC broke stuff).

It will not be deleted, even gtk1 still works. Note that you must install libgtk3-dev because you use trunk, lazarus 5.0 installers (deb,rpm) will have dependency on libgtk3-dev so it will be installed automatically.
