Yes, the right way to uninstall software in FC is 'rpm -e', you may want 
to add '--nodeps' because many packages depend on gtk2, glib2, etc. If 
you do this before compilation your system functionality will be very 
limited - think of all programs linked with removed libs.

THIS IS *VERY DANGEROUS*, I'm sure that some applications will stop 
working - your system's default is gtk+-2.4. Also, there will be 
problems with future rpm installs - unsatisfied packages dependencies.

If you want just to test gtk+-2.8, you don't need to uninstall anything 
and even install libraries to the system location. Do the following:
1. Unpack glitz, do
"./configure --prefix=/home/your-home/test-dir"
make, make install.
2. Unpack cairo, do
"export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/your-home/test-dir/lib/pkgconfig"
"export LD_RUN_PATH=/home/your-home/test-dir/lib"
"export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/your-home/test-dir/lib"
this will set the env. variables (PKG_CONFIG_PATH for pkg-config, 
LD_RUN_PATH for ld, LD_LIBRARY_PATH for ld.so), so do all following 
steps in the same shell,
do:
"./configure --prefix=/home/your-home/test-dir"
make, make install
3. Unpack glib, configure, make, install.
4. The same for atk.
5. The same for pango.
6. The same for gtk.

Now you have all libraries installed under "/home/your-home/test-dir". 
To compile anything with them you need export env variables like in 2) 
If you need to run smth you need just LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Try to run Gnome 
and after than think whether you need to upgrade your system.
