On a second thought, the original issue could be handled also in another
way: by telling gtk+-2.20.0 explicitly to pick up a glib-2.0 >= 2.23.6;
versioned dependencies are possible in .bb files but the gtk+ recipe
puts the dependency on glib-2.0 in gtk+.inc I am not sure about how to
handle this.

Gtk+ and glib releases are somehow matching AFAIK so it could have sense
to use versioned deps in this case.

Thanks,
