If you don't like the symlinked or LD_LIBRARY_PATH method, you could have
just done a ./configure --prefix=/usr to glib and gtk, then run the make
install again.  Then, no need to tamper with the other stuff.  I personally
prefer having most (sometimes I get lazy and don't enforce it) software that
I installed myself go into /usr/local rather than /usr though.
