As far as I could tell the last time I looked at RedHat they have already switched to using libpng12 for most things. For example imlib, I haven't looked at their gnome but with imlib using libpng12 it would seem it would have to be using libpng12 as well. So unless I am mistaken we are only maintaining binary-compatibility with old versions of Debian not other distributions (or at least not RedHat). Chris
