Basically, for any recent Red Hat or Fedora version, for installing new versions of GLib/GTK+, I would advise using the RPMs from download.fedora.redhat.com; you might have to rebuild the SRPM for Red Hat 9 or RHEL 3, but nothing has changed in the packaging that would cause incompatibility. Multiple versions of GLib-2.x on the same machine is bad news, and should be avoided. (One exception to this is using a build script like jhbuild or garnome; these are generally set up to be properly encapsulated.)
