well, I prefer to not making this a philosophical problem:
With one variant, you get two different installations, with two  
variants, you get four. In this case (gtk2), two of the four variants  
are "errors" and are then fixed (with the defaults variant) or with a  
user warning. I think it would be better to eliminate the problem  
altogether then trying to fix it's effects.
