well neither are "necessary".. it all depends what you want to run. gtk+2 is for applications that use gtk+2, gtk+ is for applications that use gtk+. They are not compatible libraries.
you are wrong and right at the same time... You're right 'cause you will probably not need to install GTK+ libs if GTK2 is already installed. You are wrong 'cause some usefull applications doesn't still have a GTK2 port so their GUI is GTK+ and to compile them you'll need to have GTK+ installed
