Hi List!
I've finished replacing the sprintf and alike functions by their functional equivalent functions from glib in the gtk directory.
sprintf -> g_snprintf (sprintf is often the cause for trouble, as buffer overflows can easily occur) 
snprintf -> g_snprintf
vsnprintf -> g_vsnprintf

This enabled me to remove:

#ifdef NEED_SNPRINTF_H
# include "snprintf.h"
#endif

from all the files in the gtk dir.
I've also made some other string related changes like using g_strdup where appropriate. 

It might be possible that I've introduced new bugs, just let me know...

Regards, ULFL
