It's just that I am too lazy to do it. Believe me, installing new 
packages by hand is not a too good idea if you want to use your package 
system for automatic upgrades to the newest packages. Unless you are 
very careful ... And I was not talking about only one system to maintain.

I asked on debian-gnome for gtk2 package sources, so it should be 
possible to use dpkg/apt-get with this.

You're right. Well, somewhen during this week.

I'll give it a try.

PS: It was not that hard to convince me ... but I still disregard 
installing from tarball as a bad advice (if you have a choice).
