(i'm pretty sure) the only fixes between 0.7008 and 0.7009 are build issues,
which apparently don't address the problems you're having. if you have rpms of
0.7008 then you might as well use them.

if you're developing new code you should use Gtk2-Perl
(http://gtk2-perl.sourceforge.net) rather than Gtk-Perl. if you're needing
Gtk-Perl as a dependacies the rpms are as good a way to go as any as it's
issues are primarily build related.
