        If you configured gtk/glib only with ./configure, then, it where 
installed under /usr/local, so, you can remove safely glib/gtk+ from 
RH. If you configured gtk/glib with ./configure --preifx=/usr, then
it should work, and you cannot remove the RH files.

        I've had no problems upgrading RH6.0.
