You need glib-2.2, gtk+-2.2 and their dependencies.

They should not break your system but they might do that anyway...this is not recommended.

Installing the new libraries with --prefix=/usr/local (which is the default prefix) works very well. However, you might have to do

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib

to make it work. This setup works fine on my RH8 system.
