Gnome Pooched after glib / gtk upgrade....

[James McDonald]

Folks,

I just compiled and installed the following libs and there dependencies 
on rh8.0

gtk+-2.2.1
glib-2.2.1

I needed them to compile dia 0.91 (great drawing program that now has 
cisco shapes woo hoo)

I used ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc for all libs.

Now I get as a standard muppet user....

(gnome-background-properties:24030): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: cannot 
create instance of abstract (non-instantiatable) type `GtkWidget'

As root I can launch the gnome-*-* applets without the complaint and no 
segfault...

Ideas?
