Cool, check out the CList functions having to do with width - there's some
sort of optimal_width() function or something like that.

This probably means it found the old Gtk or something? Make sure you rm
config.cache, then check config.log and the output of configure to make
sure it's using 1.1.

The CVS version breaks sometimes... This probably means you need to
include container.h somewhere...

This must be some kind of geometry problem; make sure you pack things in
boxes with TRUE, TRUE; that you attach to tables with GTK_EXPAND |
GTK_FILL; etc. Hard to say.
