What about recompiling GTK apps?
I'm having a lot of problems with GNOME and GTK apps since I upgraded from GTK 2.4.x to GTK 2.6.x. I'm sure others share my problems.
Wouldn't it be possible to just recompile all the packages which depend on GTK and place new versions in repos? Maybe this would fix the problems.

I thought that there was a dedicated server to compile packages so the developers just have to upload the PKGBUILD and the package appears there.

no server ... it's the devs/pkg-maintainers who compile the pkgs ;-)

It really makes me wonder where you guys get this stuff from...
