Because, the shared library version number for 
GTK+-1.1.12 was:

 libgtk-1.1.so.11.0.1

Binary compatibility was maintained between GTK+-1.1.11
and GTK+-1.1.12. 

[ 
  For the curious the mapping from shlib version to GTK+
  version number (on Linux) is:

  libgtk-a.b.so.x.y.z  =>  GTK+-a.b.(x+y+z)
]
