There is no reason for glademm to build "depend" on libgnomemm-dev! It
simply tests libgnomemm for existance to provide a reasonable default
version. Since these days libgnomemm is rarely used (to say the least)
nobody would notice a missing default version.
File a bug against glademm to remove any build dependancy on any of the
gtk1/gnome1 libraries (the configure warnings are harmless, the
functionality is still fully usable), I simply hestitate to remove the
gtk1 functionality because it is still in use somewhere.
Isn't this clear enough:
AC_MSG_CHECKING([for gnome-- 1.x version (not needed)])

PS: Anybody to cc about this?
