glib-1.x -> glib-<version> glib-2.x -> glib2-<version>
Likewise, for gtk+:
gtk+-1.x -> gtk+-<version> gtk+-2.x -> gtk+2-<version>
I'd like to suggest that the names of library-only packages, like glib/gtk+, be prepended with a "lib", so that they show up in that portion of the full list and minimize confusion. This would compliment the current schema of packages like popt and iconv, which were prefixed with lib for that reason. I would further suggest appending [0-9] to the name so as to prepare for any binary incompatibilities which might arise. So my final suggestion would be like so:
libglib20 libglib20-doc libglib20-devel
libglib2_0 libglib2_0-doc libglib2_0-devel
