I've already seen various projects duplicating effort in maintaining embedded GTK+ libraries: while Inkscape and Ekiga always install their own GTK+ version, GIMP and Pidgin check if the required version is already installed or not and let you choose [1]. Since now the GTK+ Project provides Windows binaries [2] (unfortunately not yet as an installer), wouldn't be better to depend on those binaries instead? Or, since an installer is required, spreading the "GTK+ for Windows Runtime Environment" [3]. FYI, on two different XP machines where I installed Ekiga-3.0.1beta-7205 and where GIMP-2.4 was already installed I got an error at Ekiga startup, solved by removing Ekiga, GIMP and any other GTK+ installation still present. Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce it anymore :-( Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca Footnotes: [1] this is what I understood from the tests I just performed [2] http://www.gtk.org/download.html [3] http://gtk-win.sourceforge.net/
