You are probably referring to libgnomedb rather than libgda. The new requirement for libgnomedb (according Vivien's message a couple of days ago) is now Gtk+ >= 2.6 (because of the GtkComboBox widget). I run FC3 as well and the "default" GTK+ is 2.4.x, so yes you should upgrade GTK+ to 2.6.x. I am not using libgnomedb at the moment, so can not advise you of any FC3 specific steps to take, but I assume you can get all the info you need at www.gtk.org
