One small issue with it ... It refused understand that gtkhtml was

other path & telling me that it cant find gnome-gtkhtml-editor-3.0
even though it is complied & installed (custom path is there in $PATH)
when I try to open a compose window.

Had to symlink gnome-gtkhtml-editor-3.0 in /opt/gnome_cvs/bin/ to
/usr/bin for that to work.

Are you aware the *nix (Unix, Linux... whatever) reads your $PATH
environment variable in order from left to right and search for a
program in that?

/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin

Your box will look in /bin before /usr/bin and finally /usr/local/bin
before saying it can't find a file.  

If a file is found in /bin it won't look in /usr/bin for the file
because it found it and would be crazy to continue looking in the other
paths.

I'm pretty sure that the OP is in the same boat as I am on this one.
Doing a "which gnome-gtkhtml-3.0" returns "/opt/bin/gnome-gtkhtml-3.0".
Checking /bin, /usr/bin, and /usr/local/bin, there are no copies of
gnome-gtkhtml-3.0 lying around. But it still doesn't work. Creating a
symlink from /opt/bin/gnome-gtkhtml-3.0 to /usr/bin/gnome-gtkhtml-3.0
works however. I'd almost venture to say that the path is hardcoded in.
Though I certainly hope that the developers wouldn't do something that
silly. :)
