What the ...?? The errors come from gtkitementry, a 3rd party widget I am
using. I don't get these errors. Try upgrading your C and C++ compilers
and your GTK library. I know that we require at least gtk 1.2.X, and there
have been some issues with gcc 2.7.2.3 that I have not had time to resolve
- but will look into, code portability is very important to me.
