Deprecated libraries

[Derek Atkins]

Phil,

What I meant was: Are these new APIs available in Gtk 2.6 (which is our
current minimum version of Gtk).  If the code wont still build against
Gtk 2.6 then we should consider changing the configure script to
something more recent or fixing the code to make sure we retain gtk-2.6
support.
