Never upgrade system versions of glib and gtk+ in place unless you really know what you're doing. Instead if you need newer versions, compile them to their own prefix. You can set the PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable to point to that prefix and ./configure will see them. Also you can use jhbuild (google for it) to build the latest versions of gtk+ to its own prefix (say /opt/gtk3). If you dislike Unity, you can install the mate-desktop, which is a continuation of the old gnome2 desktop that you are used to. _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
