Missing word: "requires".
Also, this has me puzzled, because I can run the gtk3agg backend on ubuntu Precise, but I don't have the libgtk-3-dev package installed.

It seems things are packaged somewhat differently on Debian/Ubuntu than on Fedora. I think on Ubuntu, the required package is: gir1.2-gtk3.0 https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+package/gir1.2-gtk-3.0

Since we don't really know what distro the user will be using, I'm inclined to change this to:

"The Gtk3 backend requires that the GObject introspection bindings for Gtk 3 are installed."

That should give a user enough to Google something by.
