No, it concerns compatibility between systems with GLib 1.2[.x] and 
systems with GLib 2.x.

Or, rather, does not compile on systems with GLib 1.2[.x].  There are 
*nix systems with GLib 2.x, although they probably also have GTK+ 2.x.

I don't know whether GTK+ 1.2[.x] and GLib 2.x work together.

Furthermore, there are systems that will not have GLib 2.x, so you 
*still* have to make sure your code works with GLib 1.2[.x].

Yes.
