As it turns out, this is not quite true (the binary compatibility
bit).

I got a report that a program compiled against 1.2.2 would not run
if 1.2.0 was installed:

alexsh@hectic:~> glade
glade: error in loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libgnomeui.so.32:
undefined symbol: gtk_item_factory_add_foreign

I can't believe you guys broke binary compatibility within the 1.2
series! Shame and disgrace unto all of you.
