Hi,
   I don't think you should consider the system that you are developing on
as the requirement for the application you are developing.

Instead, you should just consider what is the target system that your
application should run on once it's developed.

This means you might even want to develop using unreleased GTK+ from
git master if your target release date is reasonably later than say, 6 months
from now (in which case your app would be released shortly after the new
version of GTK+ is released... keeping you always on the bleeding edge
and ahead of the game...).

So in other words, just upgrade the system that you use to develop so that
that system has the GTK+ which you want to release with.

GTK+ might fail to initialize on a system that has no X server running (or other
compliant backend that GTK+ might need for a GUI).

But you can develop gui-less apps using glib and libgio etc without
ever requiring
a GUI, of course.

Cheers,
