I still have gtk 1.4, gtk 2.0 and now gtk-3.0 installed. Some minor problems come up, not because of any problem between them, but because newer versions of other libraries don't always agree with the older gtks. In most cases these problems are documented and can be solved fairly easily. I cannot vouch for Unity though. Ubuntu uses a 'doctored' gtk library, and I doubt that there will be much people maintaining the older libraries to have them compatible with quirks of unity. You should consult that on a Ubuntu forum.
