IDR that, but I know for certain that pan is still compatible with later 
glib-2 at least, as I don't have glib-3 installed here at all, only 
glib-2.34.3.

I'm guessing it uses glib2 when building against gtk2, and glib3 when 
building against gtk3, as I don't have gtk3 on my machine either, but I'm 
not sure of that.  I do know it'll build against 2.34.3 however, as 
that's what's installed here and pan builds and runs against it just 
fine, at least when built against gtk3 as well. =:^)

FWIW, the gentoo ebuild says >=glib-2.26:2, so it's hard-coding the glib2 
(and gtk2) dependency, from 2.26 onward.  So 2.28 should be fine, unless 
the newer dep was only extremely recently introduced (since 0.139 or 
November 4, 2012, since that's the date stamp and sync-with-version of 
the gentoo pan-9999 aka pan-live-git ebuild that I in turn last synced 
against for my variant).
