xfce4-session won't make (or make rpm)- CVS 030712

[Ric]

Hey:

Thanks. (D! that was fast!!!)

Benny, if I may call you Benny, I appreciate the view about gtk+-2.2.x.
 There have been many bug fixes since 2.0 and it appears to be a good
thing to upgrade.  I had planned on it during beta1 but because
fontconfig screwed up so many different things, I backed off.  I am
glad I did because this release has been promised to work for 2.0.6 and
now I can test for that, too.

Do not worry too much about future releases and compatibility as I, and
probably many others will be upgrading the system to a new release long
before XFce4 ever gets to the 4.2(or whatever) beta stage.  Just don't
forget about us until then - there are a lot of us even if I am the
only one here testing & reporting with 2.0.6.

I look forward to using any/all your software. You have done a great
job, in my humble opinion.  


However, I still have a little problem with make rpm for the 0.24
targz:

/usr/lib/libxfcegui4.so: undefined reference to
`gdk_screen_get_default'
/usr/lib/libxfcegui4.so: undefined reference to `GDK_SCREEN_XSCREEN'

???
That same error is in iconbox, BTW; and, ithink, in xfcalendar, too.

I do have all the new -devel required builds installed and I checked
/usr/lib - they are *new* files(well, the date is new).
