I don't think it's so unusual, but what's unusual indeed is to have the
GTK+ release before the GLib one. This, to my understanding, is a bit
exceptional now, because of a few changes that are still ongoing in the
gvariant side of glib, which are necessary before GLib is made stable.
This should be happening briefly, I think, so it's not really a problem.
