Hi,

The combination glib 2.31.12 and gtk 2.24.9 should work fine. It is also
used in the native Fedora (rawhide). Also note that some days ago a mass
rebuild has taken place using gcc 4.7 and mingw-w64 trunk. It's likely
that this update introduced a slight difference in behavior which makes
old packages (compiled using an older gcc and mingw-w64 branch)
incompatible with the rebuilt packages. So it is recommended to update
all packages which are currently in the testing repo and test for any
issues.

If you still encounter issues with these updated packages please let me
know.

Kind regards,

Erik van Pienbroek
