Its not mine - its a widget I am using. It is called gtkitementry so I am
supprised that conflicts arise with gtkentry. And why don't these seem to
cause any problem with a recent g++?

I cannot reproduce this program using gcc 2.7.2.3 and a C program that
used gtkitementry.c. Apparently it is based on GtkEntry and has a bunch of
static functions in the gtkentry namespace.

I have run a few simple seds which should rename all of its functions to
be in its own namespace and commited it. Nils, cvs update and see if it
works. I will report this bahavior to the author.
