In the case of GTK+, the answer is interesting because GTK+ provides API and
ABI backwards compatibility. So, you should be able to replace GTK+ 2.2
without breaking any applications.

So, two questions:

  * How and where did you install GTK+ 2.4?

  * Explain the fancy icon features that aren't working. ;-)

Thanks,
