Yes.

Gtk+ 2.19/2.20 can depend on Glib 2.23/2.24 (2.24 should be coming out shortly).

This is because 2.20 is a new stable release from Gtk's Git master
after 2.18, and similarly Glib 2.24 will be a new stable release from
Glib's Git master after 2.22. The intervening odd-numbered releases
are also made from Git master in the run-up to the stable release.
