The minimum GTK requirement is currently 2.10, and the roadmap says it will
be 2.12 for 0.47. This implies Glib at least 2.14. So your patch won't lock
anybody out.
Just be aware that the roadmap is not a binding document.
That is, anything thrown up there is just a suggestion. Also it is sometimes quite out of date.
Hmmm... seems that the version is wrong for 0.47 that you mentioned.
The newer page for tracking such details is at
Ubuntu 7.10 has hit end-of-life, but Ubuntu 6.06 is still a supported release. That only has Glib 2.10.2 and Gtk 2.8.10, therefore...
The minimum is quite different.
Also, I've had to fix some issues for glib compatibility myself just within the last few weeks (one of my changes had broken things for Bulia). So those lower requirements are recent.
