A bit more detail, since it could be useful to you and possibly others.

glib1 would be for gtk/gnome (version 1) apps.  glib2 would be for
gtk2/gnome2 apps.  The jump in the major version indicates incompatibility
between them, and the different names allow them to be installed in
parallel, so you can continue to run gtk/gnome original apps on a system
otherwise long switched over to gtk2/gnome2.  xmms is perhaps the widest
used application not yet ported (and not to be ported, since development
has branched to other players) to gtk2.
