 That's the bulk of the problem; Josselin: I think the alternatives
 system doesn't offer any guarantee that any link will be touched, the
 symlink might not even exist.  Do you think we should consider
 upgrading existing installs with a diversion based system instead of
 the alternatives?  Or perhaps drop support for gtk1.2 via alternatives?
