Try it out and see what happens.. since the version change seems
pretty minor I wouldn't expect too much breakage .. Though to be
on the safe side it's probably good to install it to another
directory(/usr/local or something) and change the package name so
it doesn't conflict.
When building your new programs just be sure that you point them
to the other version of GTK via LD_LIBRARY_PATH CPPFLAGS etc..
