Application that need gtk+-1.2 use gtk-config and application that
need gtk+-2.0 use pkg-config. There is no problem with this since you
can't compile a gtk+-1.2 application with gtk+-2.0 and vice versa. The
gtk+ 1.2 and 2.x libraries are incompatible and are supposed to be
installed in parallel (at least for quite some time).


Salut, Sven
