Lol, dunno how I read this thread so this message was still missed :).

I checked my system with pkg_libchk and there was no ports that needed 
rebuild for new libraries. I also rebooted, checked all my gtk2 
applications - all of them runs fine. So I think it more need to 
concentrate on testing gimp-depended ports, like a plugins/extensions etc.
