Hadess,
I *do* have gtk 1.2, but apparently gtk-config reports 1.0 since that is
what /usr/lib/libgtk.so is. I tried hacking gtk-cofnig but without much
success.Maybe there was some upward compatibility problem so 1.0 is the
default?

False, gtk+1.2
Even thought I had libgtk-1.2 installed, somehow the package wasn't
(perhaps because I uninstalled all my X packages before this). After
installing libgtk1.2-dev (which was purged according to dselect)

Sorry for all the fuss.
