How did you install GTK+ 1.2.8?

If you installed the binary package from sunfreeware.com, un-install it
- and the corresponding GLib 1.2.8 package - and either install GLib and
GTK+ from source, or from the 1.2.10 builds on sunfreeware.com, or from
binary packages from The Written Word:

The 1.2.8 GTK+ distribution from sunfreeware.com appears to be broken,
as several people have had problems with it and Ethereal.
