You need at least version 2.4.0 of glib and gtk.  Ubuntu Hoary has 2.6.3
in it (http://packages.ubuntu.com/hoary/libs/libglib2.0-0) so that
should be fine.  Warty's got 2.4.x in it, which is also fine.  Where are
you finding the 2.0.x versions?

The command:

$ pkg-config --modversion glib-2.0

will show you what version you've got installed.
