   I did have exactly those problems.  I spent most of an afternoon  
digging through all of that, though, and I'm confident that I've  
gotten them resolved.  The latest GTK (and friends) are compiled and  
installed, but anything that uses them dies with a bus error (even  
gtk-demo) which I've not been able to track down.  I've forgotten the  
details (a busy two weeks have gone by since then) but it was  
something to do with threading.

   Oh, and also, just to be clear...I'm running "production" Solaris  
10, not OpenSolaris.
