the reason is because some people are on older distros that don't have
packages for the latest gtk.  i'm spoiled; i use a source-based distro, but
i can certainly understand the reluctance involed in bypassing your
package manager to install a newer library.  and some people just don't know
how to create a new RPM or .deb or whatever.  yeah, i'm tempted to just say
"meh, they should learn, screw it", but people use package-based distros
specifically so they don't need to learn if they don't want to.  so, in
the interests of making xfmedia usable by more people, i'll do my best
to support gtk 2.2, if it's not too much trouble.
