Basically, yes.  The complication on your system was the presence of the
1.3.2 packages.

Then you'd better get those.

Why stop here ? Based on what you told me, you at least need to also:

        # rpm -e Inti-devel-0.6preview-1
        # rpm -e Inti-0.6preview-1
        # rpm -e gtk+-gtkbeta pango-gtkbeta

and after that, reinstall the official RPMs.

Not enough. You really need to install them all. Based on the mess
you've gotten into, I'd have no faith in the validity of the installed
rpms. Start over.

I have no idea why you're getting these.

This is pointless until you get your dependencies fixed.

Some problems are bound to happen, until gtk2 versions stabilise and 
the distro's start packaging them. 

For you, in a nutshell:
1. Remove Inti and the beta version of gtk2/glib2/etc.
2. Install gtk2 and dependencies based on the howto.
3. Install Pan.
