This is a bit unfortunately, really. The RedHat RPMs use a product name
'gtk2', but Mandrake seems to chose to name them 'gtk+2.0'. So, the
replacement line for the spec file would be:

        Requires: gtk+2.0 >= 2.0.3

and the corresponding build requirement:

        BuildRequires: libgtk+2.0_0 >= 2.0.3

True, but that way you miss: a) version checking (especially important
now, since gtk+ 2.0.3 is more stable than, say, 2.0.0) and b) a clear
error message on the failed dependency (well, relatively clear).
