Not wanting to be snotty, but I get the impression you're out of 
your depth here. Why not just install a Linux distro (Ubuntu or 
otherwise) that has an up-to-date GTK stack?

I'm afraid you're going to wear out your welcome here with "How can 
I unbreak my system that has a horrid mess-up of old and new 
GLib/GTK?" This is not really a gtk-app-devel question.
