For one thing, you probably want to use Gtk-- 1.1.8, aka the "don't
stop at my uneven minor version number and treat me as stable because
otherwise I'll get childhood psychological trauma, become a serial
killer tarball and sue your ass for being the original cause of it
all"-release.

You know, we have a mailing-list were us queers can talk freely about
our problems without having to explain this sort of things... We all
understand. It's the Gtk-- mailing-list
(gtkmm-main-request@lists.sourceforge.net).

It's not unlikely that GtkPreview wasn't correctly wrapped in Gtk--
1.0.x. I don't recall if it was ever tested.
