Let's take the different pieces of this: 1) I updated to 2.2.6 using Fink.
2) fink list gtk yields: ... i gtk+ 1.2.10-51 The Gimp Toolkit ... 3) The trouble listed in that bug describes my situation exactly, but has nothing to do with Windows, since I am using OS X. I don't know whether the fix Charles mentioned will fix this as well.
