 No, you don't have to recompile all applications that use gtk in order to
get fixed behaviour - because they don't include gtk's code, they just link
dynamically with gtk. All you have to do is to install updated gtk package to
the standard locations where all programs expect it (it seems that just
downloading and installing RPM with gtk-1.2.10 from Mandrake distribiution
should be a solution).
