Do you have a particular requirement for this version?  If not, I would
generally recommend CVS HEAD, a <1 week old daily snapshot, or the latest
release (currently 0.10.4).

That said, the files likely to be relevant to your problem have not much changed
in these two months, so I don't think a new version would make the problem
disappear.

The cause of this problem is not apparent to me, then.  Please send the output
of these commands:

$ echo 'GTK_MAJOR_VERSION GTK_MINOR_VERSION' | gcc -E \
`pkg-config --cflags gtk+` -include gtk/gtkfeatures.h -

$ uname -r -v

$ gcc -v

Please also send your ``config.log'' file, the output of your ``configure'' run,
and the output of the full build process.  (gzip them if you like)
