Not to mention that libgtk1.2 and libgtk2.0-0 don't conflict with each 
other.  I have both libgtk1.2 and libgtk2.0-0 programs happily installed 
without any problems.  Maybe OP can elaborate on what problems he is 
having?  If you just want to install libgtk2.0-0, all you have to do is 
'apt-get install libgtk2.0-0'.  I was hesitant to suggest this because I 
couldn't imagine why the OP wouldn't have already tried this.
