I think RPM has some option to reinstall a package and overwrite existing files. Use it if possible.
If not, and you need to uninstall gtk, you whould use the --nodeps option, and make sure you replace it with the same version as you removed, or else other programs may fail.
Hold on to your horses man! Don't go around advising people to use --force and --nodeps unless they are absolutely sure they know how RPM works and how important dependencies are!!
You might also need to re-run ldconfig. (Or maybe RPM does it for you...
Most likely that this will not be needed.
I don't know, I'm more a tarball fan.)
And I am an apt-get fan .... yeeeehaawwww!!!
As far as tarballs go, I preferred "rpm -bb" on my old RHL box, but havn't yet figured out how to created debs on my Debian box.
