Same here.  Things are building fine.

Of course, Todd, make sure you are getting the right definition of
AM_PATH_GLIB too.  There was a coressponding change to glib.m4, and you
may have to pass `-I /opt/gnome/share/aclocal' to `aclocal' to make it
look for the newer version there.

BTW, Owen, GTK+ is not totally blameless: if you use the
--with-glib=... configure option, glib-config is not called with
`gmodule'.  In this case however, I doubt that Todd used --with-glib
when configuring `gtk+'.
