Hi guys,
Before I nuke my system I shall explain what I want to do and why.
Essentially I want to upgrade GTK+ to the latest stable version because firefox3 keps throwing out these errors:

I believe that by upgrading to the latest stable version this issue will be sorted. However, I am a little nervous about doing this and I wanted to check if this is 'safe', or advisable to attempt. Had a search around and found this, from the GTK+ website on how to compile GTK+,
(link) this described by (my interpretation) of the instructions:
1. Download the tarball from
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/ ... .3.tar.bz2
2. tar xvfj gtk+-2.14.3.tar.bz2
3. cd into gtk+2.1.4.3
4. ./configure --prefix=/opt/gtk
5. make
6. make install
Any pointers or whatnots would be greatly received.
*edit* Also, will this fix it? I see that Glib and GTK+ split before the release of gtk+-2?
Regards Chris
