oh my zues, i had no clue there were so MANY gtk pacakes.
i'm clicking on bunches of missing libraries in my ubuntu
11.10. there must be >> 50.
i'll add that test code after i have a cheeseburger and
let you know. i'm at least at 2.14 on most versioning. but
then ubuntu has its *own* way. they're a bit behind
freebsd. but th en FBSD is on the bleeding edge.
are there 'button'-type things i should be looking for??
