Actually, the issue only arose when I tried compiling my program on a Mac. I agree, it's probably not an issue on most Linux boxes. Maybe it'll be easier to just specify that Mac users need to install GTK+-3.0 to run it. (Now I just have to convince my wife that that isn't why her new Mac has suddenly started locking up and acting strange. I _have_ been hacking around with it a bit...) -- /~\ cgibbs@kltpzyxm.invalid (Charlie Gibbs) \ / I'm really at ac.dekanfrus if you read it the right way.
