Thanks Alexandre,
I understand your scary concerns, I have them too.
So the release was caught unawares by an external dependency, bit of a bastard. I wonder how Gimp is still working, surely that's Gtk too?

As far as I can tell, when 0.48.0 was out, the issue didn't exist. That is wasn't taken care of later is a whole different matter. We can burst out with rage all we like, but I for one would rather see this thread go back to discussing how we can fix the issue, not how we can punch each other in the face.
Shipping a safe version of GTK+ internally sounds scary to me. This is exactly what we've been trying to get rid of with even smaller libs such a libgdl and lib2geom. This is where I'd rather see our release manager stepping in to make a decision.
