Linux distributors are free to ship with any version of libgda, but
there are no libgda forks for any version of linux that I know of.

Yes, libgda 1.3.x are development versions and some API changes have
heen introduced during the development of that new version (which will
be 1.4 of 2.0).

In libgda 1.3.x, we introduced the possibility to configure
system-wide data sources. The last argument of that function is to
tell if the data source must be system-wide.
