No, I still have not 'got it'.

When I: 
root g2000:~# pkg-config gtk+ --modversion
1.2.10

You seem to be saying that I do not have gtk2, because my
gtk+ version is < 2.x

Yet, Henning Nielsen Lund indicates that

gtk2 is contained in gtk+ version 2.0.0
 and that my Slackware install includes GTK+-2.2.4,
  so, I may already have whatever 'gtk2' that Bluefish needs.

I found references to 'gtk+-1' and 'gtk+2',
but no reference to 'gtk2', on my workstation.  :-(

I will next try to install Bluefish.
If it fails, I will try to find a HTML editor that does
not need 'gtk' anything.  :-|

I was looking for a HTML editor/composer and found Bluefish.
Bluefish seems to be extremely heavy into graphics.  I think that
I should look for a different HTML editor that doesn't need
a graphics tool kit.  :-| 

Thanks anyway,
Chuck
