Use the wrong version of the symbols, and therefore crash, etc. It's avoided in apps by having them abort on start if they're linked against both versions; in plugins it's a bit murkier.

1) port gthumb to gtk3
2) disable the brasero plugin
3) figure out if the plugin and brasero libs actually need GTK... if not, take them out of the link

There may be other solutions.
