On Ubuntu every version since Edgy (October 2006) uses GTK 2.10 or
later.   Dapper which is a LTS release is supported until 2010 (I
think) uses 2.8 but as a LTS release I assume that Canonical/Ubuntu
will stick with 0.6.5 and wouldn't backport 0.7.0.    If anyone wanted
NM 0.7 it makes sense that they are most likely running a more recent
distro anyway.

Debian uses 2.8 in it's stable release:
http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=libgtk2.0-bin&searchon=names&exact=1&suite=all&section=all
But Lenny and Sid are both at 2.12.   I know the Debian Maintainer
follows the list so I am sure he will say if there is an issue there.
