Debian Jessie has glib 2.42, gtk 3.14.5

Ubuntu LTS 14.04 has glib 2.40.0, gtk 3.10.8

RHEL-7.1 has glib 2.40.0, gtk 3.8.8

The lowest common denominator across these major distros is

  glib 2.38
  gtk  3.8.8

So I think that is what virt-viewer should be sticking to as minimum
versions.

For glib we should make sure we set  GLIB_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED and
GLIB_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED to match the min version, so that we don't
accidentally introduce use of newer functions.

Regards,
Daniel
