The whole new gnome rc probably needs the new glib2. IIRC it was
downgraded due to glibmm/gtkmm not being updated yet, but those will
come before the gnome release, so I think we can live with them being
temporarily broken.
In the future it might be a good idea to do the gnome rc updates in a
branch instead of directly in test.
