My old system was, indeed, trashed.  An accidental re-boot proved that 
it wasn't going into GUI mode anymore.  Thus, I upgraded, and am now on 
Ubuntu 12.

Nonetheless, I run ./configure in gtk+ git, and I am still getting unmet 
dependencies:

configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.39.5    atk >= 
2.7.5    pango >= 1.32.4    cairo >= 1.12.0 cairo-gobject >= 1.12.0    
gdk-pixbuf-2.0 >= 2.27.1) were not met:

Requested 'glib-2.0 >= 2.39.5' but version of GLib is 2.32.4
Requested 'atk >= 2.7.5' but version of Atk is 2.4.0
Requested 'pango >= 1.32.4' but version of Pango is 1.30.0
Requested 'gdk-pixbuf-2.0 >= 2.27.1' but version of GdkPixbuf is 2.26.1

So, this is no longer an ancient system. What do I do?  (Aside from 
"trashing" this new one with local builds, as I did the old one?)

("Unity" completely and majorly sucks, by the way.  And the upgrade has 
wiped out major settings, like /etc/bash.bashrc (!??), gnome panels, and 
lots more!)
