as a fellow freebsd user. I can say I was very close to uninstalling the
gtk package and compiling it myself after the abomination of gtk12. the
link of gtk12 to gtk suffices to solve the problem for me, so i decided
to not sit thru the pain of compiling gtk as a remeber it. If only all
these apps used the BSD makefiles, instead of automake/autoconf *evil
BSD domination grin*
