Last I checked (last summer), newer glib2, the lowest level of the 
gnome stack, had problems on OS X. I've been tracking its new stable 
releases for a few years...there were still "new" bugs/test-fails in 
old APIs as well as fails in the newly added ones (the "reason" other 
parts of the stack need the newer glib2), so I wasn't motivated to 
really get it all solved (seemed poor to break what works in order to 
get new things that also might not be working). I had toyed with simply 
scrapping the new interfaces and working on getting the old ones fixed 
(so things that say they need new just because "new is better" would be 
happy, and only have symptoms for things that already weren't doable), 
but seemed like a lot of work for not really fixing the whole problem. 
This summer I'm going to try again to get the whole thing working (I've 
heard that at least some of the test fails are side-effects of how 
fink's build system is running them).
