I'm taking this back to the list, since I accidently neglected to
include the list in my previous reply...

I'm not very fluent in things of Red Hat, but "rpm -q gtk2" may give you
the version; I'm not sure how globs apply to packages.

If you want to find out what version of GTK configure scripts will find
(and therefore applications will attempt to build against), do:

pkg-config --modversion gtk+-2.0

This will work on all Unix-ish GTK-supported platforms, provided that
pkg-config and GTK+ devel files are installed.
