In my experience 0.16 is almost stable as long as ruby <= 1.8.6 is
used. But no way when using ruby 1.8.7.

Yes. Here's what I've actually added (too bad RUBY_VERSION is a
string, though there's probably a more elegant way to use it).

binding_version = Gtk::BINDING_VERSION
if binding_version == [ 0, 15, 0 ]
    puts "It seems that we're running ruby-gtk2 0.15.0; this version
is known to crash; please upgrade or downgrade."
    puts str
    exit
end
ruby_version = RUBY_VERSION.split('.').collect { |v| v.to_i }
if binding_version[0] <= 0 && binding_version[1] <= 16 &&
ruby_version[0] >= 1 && ruby_version[1] >= 8 && ruby_version[2] >= 7
    puts "It seems that we're running ruby-gtk2 <= 0.16.0 with ruby >=
1.8.7; this combination is known to crash; please upgrade or downgrade
some."
    puts str
    exit
end
