Properly uninstalling GTK will involve removing every Gnome package. I think RPM has some option to reinstall a package and overwrite existing files. Use it if possible. If not, and you need to uninstall gtk, you whould use the --nodeps option, and make sure you replace it with the same version as you removed, or else other programs may fail. You might also need to re-run ldconfig. (Or maybe RPM does it for you... I don't know, I'm more a tarball fan.)
