Hey, libgtk2.0-0png3 isn't really broken the binary
compatibility. for example, metacity actually works without
rebuild. it was just changing the dependency and to avoid
that the programs links both of libpng2 and libpng3 at the
same time.
If we can't provide the GTK+2.0 which is built against
libpng2 without conflicts, we have a way only which is
waiting a new thing.
BTW how much are there such a commercial program?
