Thanks, that was the ticket.  Seems the "new" version I pulled down a few days
ago was only v1.2 (##%!@! mirrors).  Upgrading to 1.3 solved that problem, but
now I get:

 mico-glue.o: In function `panel_corba_gtk_main':
/usr/src/gnome-core/panel/mico-glue.cc:151: undefined reference to
`GtkDispatcher::GtkDispatcher(void)'

Can't figure that one out either as I have both GTK+ (whatever version the CVS
is up to) and mico 2.0.5 installed.

I noticed that Michael Harnois had this problem a week or so ago, and there
were several suggesions, but I never did figure out what the solution was (if
any).  Michael?  Anyone?
