  GTK+ 1.0.* and GTK+1.2 can live together quite nicely, but their header
files and config info are another story.  You can check this by doing:

locate glib.h

  If you find one that's not accounted for by your recent install, then
you've got extra headers.

  If you installed from some sort of package for 1.0.*, you should probably
see if there's a way to get just the libraries (ie don't install the
"gtk-devel" package).  OTOH, someone on this list might be able to come up
with a way to get the header files to live nicely next to each other.

  I'm not sure how to get rid of the old development files if you didn't
install from packages (or if the RPMs don't split the files up).  There's
probably some obscure make target. :-)
