Well, it seems you are pretty much shielded from the
implementation -- I'm not sure how can you depend on
a particular Gtk+ version then.  But I suppose you just need
a particular feature or set of features to be present.

Isn't it possible to check for this feature directly (in
Java) instead of trying to figure out Gtk+ version and
inferring the features?  I mean, if it makes a difference
for your app, the difference should be detectable.
