The only gdkdrawable I can find here on SuSE 9.0 is gdkdrawable.h which is 
provided by gtk2-devel. Perhaps gtk2-devel isn't installed on your office 
computer but is on your customer's?  (Just a guess. I don't run RedHat or 
Thunderbird but happened to come across gdkdrawable in a different context.)
