Use `pkg-config --modversion gtk+-2.0' instead.

Actually, you took the wrong advice from the two.  Better pick this: don't
make your labels fixed-size.  It is incomparably better in all cases you
are not e.g. stuck to small fixed-size display.

GTK+ natively allows all widgets have the size they need to display all
the information.
