Do a search on the gtk-list, I have answered these question many times
on that list... You want to remove 2.5.4 and then install 2.4 or 2.6
(whichever stable GTK+ version you prefer). 2.6 will however depend on
a lot of other gtk libraries being at a never version that what you
might have.

Correct, 2.5.4 is a development version which you shouldn't be using
unless you are a GTK+ developer.

No program should depend on 2.5.4, since it is a development version.
