I sthere any reason why I can't build gtk-- libraries with gnome support? Do we need two versions? Why would we need a version without gnome support? About the gtk+ version to use: >From the release notes page: "NOTE! Its now a policy that gtk-- works with 1.0.x gtk+'s and only gtk+1.1 from the CVS. Thus to use gtk1.1, you will want to have both gtk+ and gtk-- from CVS!"

I assume both will be build from the same sources, so it does make sense to just include the rules for them in my packaging scripts. Marcus, gtk-- debian maintainer -- "Rhubarb is no Egyptian god."
