If any installation guide *recommends* installation of manually compiled
Gtk+ into a system location the author of such guide should be hanged at
dawn on the nearest plane tree.

And I  think the question is GTK 2.x and GTK+3 in the same process is not support. When I uninstall GTK 2.x, a new question is coming.The GNome is can't work normally and I can't enter the system interface.

Gtk+3 has differently named libraries and is parallel installable with
Gtk+2.  But you might have rebuilt other libraries along the way, hard
to say.

So I don't know what precisely went wrong in your case but you have
learned a lesson not to install random manually compiled stuff info
system locations.  If you installed everything into /usr/local it should
be possible to just unistall it all (using make uninstall).  Then
configure, build and install again it to a non-system location.

In case you have already scre^H^H^H^H damaged your system beyond
reasonable repair it may be best to just reinstall it with Ubuntu 11.10
which already comes with Gtk+ 3.2.
