well I run potato with some extra packages on my box, the extra pacakges I get by compiling them myself. fortunately glib and gtk are really easy to compile for potato. it is basically a case of grabbing the gtk and glib source packages and patch files from the pool on a debian mirror and using dpkg-buildpackage on them. If you want the easiest solution try add deb-src http://some.debian.mirror/debian unstable main contrib non-free to your sources.list then type apt-get source libgtk1.2 libglib1.2 then in that directory there will be a gtk and a glib directory, go into glib and type dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot install the resulting deb files, do the same for gtk you can infact say apt-get -b source and it does the building for you, however I dont like doing it to this extent so hey.
