I think I did with one or two of the applications.  But I don't remember
forcing any of the libraries.

OK, but there is a new RPM recently introduced:  gtk+10-1.0.6

Is that something that provides coexistance between 1.1 and 1.0?
If so, does that mean that I should remove all of my 1.0.5?

In other words, I should

  Remove:  gtk+-1.1.1-1 & gtk+-1.0.5-2
  Verify:  gtk+10-1.0.6-1, gtk+-1.1.2-1, & gtk+-devel-1.1.2-1

Is that correct?

I'm aware of all of that.  But it looks like there's some really great
new packages there.  I've been impressed with what I've seen so far.
And yes, I have found things that don't work quite right, and/or that
issue error messages.  Hmmm...  Maybe I should have reported them.
