on my system (Debian Sid):

ii  libgtk-3-0:i386 	3.4.2-4
ii  libgtk-3-bin	3.4.2-4
ii  libgtk-3-common	3.4.2-4
ii  libgtk-3-dev        3.4.2-4
ii  libgtk-3-doc        3.4.2-4
ii  libgtk2.0-0:i386    2.24.10-2
ii  libgtk2.0-bin       2.24.10-2
ii  libgtk2.0-cil       2.12.10-4
ii  libgtk2.0-common    2.24.10-2
ii  libgtk2.0-dev       2.24.10-2

So, as you can see, apt-get can let them coexist (all in all, apt has
the power of super-cow, hasn't it?); no need to recompile everything
from scratch.

But if I compile my app on my system:

$ ldd gtag
	linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xb7745000)
	libgtk-3.so.0 => /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgtk-3.so.0 (0xb7260000)
	libgdk-3.so.0 => /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgdk-3.so.0 (0xb71e2000)
	libatk-1.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libatk-1.0.so.0 (0xb71bf000)
	...

Should I want to link it to gtk-2, all I have to do is to change
compilation and linking options in order to point to gtk-2 (but I don't
want; I like new features in gtk-3 :)
