There is no clean way to remove your compiled GTK+, but if you installed
it into /usr/local rm is your friend. It's a bit like surgery with a
blunt object.

Once that's done, hopefully your GTK+ apps will go on using the system
installed GTK+ version. If you didn't install to /usr/local you'll
probably need to --reinstall assorted gtk+ packages.

Good luck :-) Next time don't install from source unless you know what
you're doing.
