Comment(by bonoba@…):

 I have successfully built gtk-2.24.8 with all dependencies including xorg-
 libXau mentioned in the ticket #32227

 However there is another problem with this glib version -- I am having
 troubles compiling gconf against it,
 the log reveals that an include file from pango uses the symbol
 G_CONST_RETURN which has been removed in this glib:
 {{{
 :info:build /opt/local/include/pango-1.0/pango/pango-script.h:132: error:
 expected declaration specifiers or ‘...’ before ‘G_CONST_RETURN’
 }}}

 I tried to manually compile a newer version of pango 1.29.5, but
 unfortunately it depends on a newer glib-2.31+
 So I really don't know where to move from here. I guess the safe option
 would be to downgrade to the previous glib version.
