it seems, like unstable is broken currently. maybe the guy who packages
gtk has already installed the libc6 from experimental.

building a debian package is not really hard. what you have to do is:

apt-get build-dep libgtk2.0-0 
(install all packages required to build libgtk)

apt-get source libgtk2.0-0
(get the source code, you need deb-src lines in your
/etc/apt/sources.list for that to work)

cd gtk+2.0-2.4.4/

debian/rules binary
(don't! do this differently, it has to be like this)

cd ..

dpkg -i libgtk2.0-0_2.4.4-2_i386.deb libgtk2.0-dev_2.4.4-2_i386.deb

there's also apt-build, which is supposed to automate the whole process,
ie. "apt-build --reinstall install libgtk2.0-0" should also do it!

since sarge is almost stable now, maybe it makes sense to try to use
sarge?
