I almost cross-posted it but decided to try here first. I just sent it
ot the pygtk list.

I don't think I did anything different than when I compiled gtk 2.0.9
a couple days earlier, but it's certainly possible.

I don't think there's a problem with gtk+ 2.2 - I just don't think I
installed something correctly.

Hopefully someone on the pygtk list will have an idea.

Thanks,
Dave
