No, that's different. That's "What version of GTK+ would I get CFLAGS 
for and link to if I ran pkg-config --cflags and pkg-config --libs at 
this moment in time" (from the .pc metafiles), not "What version of GTK+ 
am I currently linked to." It fails most obviously in a parallel install 
or statically linked app.
