I am downloading Debian Sarge right now to figure that out.
You can install older version of Glib, Atk, Pango and Gtk from source in a different directory and change PKG_CONFIG_PATH accordingly. I would guess that earlier versions who didn't have the floating reference did have a reference count of one. Which must mean that this floating reference is meant to fix some space leaks where people create an object, pass it to some other object and then don't call object_unref.
