Hi Carl,
	For some reason this problem sounds like something I had to fix before, 
but I can't really recall anything.  I was hoping it was related to a 
bad configuration file somewhere that I could refresh.

	Right now it sounds like it's something that was upgraded recently, but 
I have no way to track that down.  Do you think it's a bug in GTK+, or 
another library?

	If there were any kind of workaround, that would help me immensely.

Geoffrey
