For #1, I'll let somebody more knowledgeable about the specifics there 
give an answer.

For #2, the answer is no.  The reason for the separation is to force a 
rebuild of gtk+2 (and everything that depends on it) when somebody 
updates their OS.  There are indeed differences in them, due the 
different g++ versions used to compile them.  We wouldn't have this 
separation if it weren't absolutely necessary.
