Sorry, call me stupid, but why gtkmm-2.6 (not sure about exact number, 
whatever
version is already released) will work with gtk-2.10 and glib-2.10?
Is it not correct that testing GTK_FLOATING will still work since 
g_object_sink will
change it appropriately, but direct setting it (in old binaries, that 
were compiled
with old gtk) won't?
