<-shudder->

Are you sure this is wise? It's quite possible that some files have been
renamed / removed in later distributions, and then you'll have cruft
from older distributions lying around, which can cause some
unpredictable ( and difficult to diagnose ) results. I don't have any
in-depth knowledge of whether this is likely to happen with gtk+ or not,
but generally, I think it's a good idea to remove EVERY trace of old
stuff before installing new stuff.

Anyway, what's the point of installing the old 2.10.11 if you're then
upgrading everything to later versions?
