Well, 2.95.3 doesn't solve the problem.
According to http://ricardo.ecn.wfu.edu/glib-linux-archive/0110/0007.html, I 
need to get the latest 2.95.4pre source and apply the referenced pathc. 
Problem is, that link is rather dated, and, well, the patch will likely not 
work on 2.95.3 source code. 3.1.1 should fix my problem, but I *still* can't 
get that to compile.

If any kind soul wants to wander into #linux-users at irc.openprojects.net and 
give me a suggestion on how to *fix* this, I'll be quite happy...

Regards,
 Tim
