There is another problem (I replied but with the wrong identity : see  
remark later)

When I build it with the new version of autoconf (in Debian sid, it is  
an CVS version), some icons are missing in the toolbars. If I rebuild  
it (same source tree) with the previous version of autoconf, I've not  
this problem)


Remarks about the list :
- If I use the wrong identity, the message is "waitong for approval".  
It is sometimes annoyiong but seems to be the list policy.
- Each time I send a message on this list, I receive a mail from
Mail Administrator <Postmaster web01-nyc clicvu com> saying that mail  
from gmail.com domain are not accepted. It is not directly related to  
you but probably to somebody there sunbscibed. I've mailed to complain  
without any effect. Do you know if there is a way to avoid that ?
