The solution could be, in RHEL, to have gtkhtml38 obsolete gtkhtml3
versions with version <= 3.8. It cannot be done in EPEL since obsoleting
RHEL packages is not allowed.
gtkhtml3 would be brought in either by devel dependencies, or by
dependencies on the soname.
OK ... I have created a package that conflicts with gtkhtml3 < 3.12.1
we will be putting it in centos-5.2 extras (after it goes through the
centos QA process).
Here are testing RPMS:

This was tested with gnucash and mysql-query-browser and it seemed to
work OK with the new gtkhtml3 installed as well.
Thanks,
