The Gnu C library maintainers seem to go to great lengths to ensure that old binaries run with newer versions of glibc (within a given major number, of course). But most other projects aren't that careful. I'm a little surprised as well, given how many changes go into each new release of GTK+. But maybe they are doing a better job of versioning symbols, or whatever other black magic goes into making backwards compatible libraries. -- - Charles Lepple
