Looks like this check is currently used in 2 places.According to gtkversion.h GTK_CHECK_VERSION(2,8,0) is true for all versions >= 2.8.0.
Aike has spotted a bug that would have been difficult to catch, in fact this would have shown up only when booting in rescue mode and using recent (2.8.21) GTKDFB libraries. There are a couple of places in the GTK frontend where i check for GTK version, and this is because i once used to compile it against GTK 2.8/2.9 while 2.0.9 was used in the d-i. Now that d-i has switched to 2.8.x, there would be no longer need for version check: should i remove the version checks so that compiling the GTK frontend against old GTKDFB 2.0.9 will simply fail?
