What?

removing deprecated code is a major goal toward gtk 3.0 so this has to be done. 
Note that *none* of the applications are broken because of the deprecation, you 
don't need a compatibility library and they don't need
to be updated (at least not as far as this bug is concerned).
All the applications are broken because there is a *bug* in gtk 2.17.2 namely 
it uses internally a deprecated api which in turn cause the problem of pointer 
cast I mentioned above. This has already been fixed upstream.
Glitches like this are bound too happen, 2.17.x *is* a developpement release.
