I think the problem is that some of the routines in libgnomeui want
to include libgnomeui/gtkcalendar.h (which has, among other things, enums
for GTK_CALENDAR_FONT_* and GTK_CALENDAR_COLOR_*)

This is supposed to be included by a line in libgnomeui/libgnomeui.h
which looks like:

	#ifndef __GTK_CALENDAR_H__
	#include "libgnomeui/gtkcalendar.h"
	#endif

Unfortunately, there are a bunch of other files included before this
line and several of those files include <gtk/gtk.h>, which includes
<gtk/gtkcalendar.h>, which defines __GTK_CALENDAR_H__, so
libgnomeui/gtkcalendar.h is never used.

One thing I tried was to move the above lines to just below the

	#include "libgnomeui/gnome-uidefs.h"

line in libgnomeui/libgnomeui.h.

This got things compiled, but is obviously not the right solution,
since, test-gnome/test-gnome now spews out:

	Gtk-WARNING **: gtk_type_create(): type `GtkCalendarDisplayOptions' already exists.

	** ERROR **: file gnometypes.c: line 31 (gnome_type_init): assertion failed: (type_id != GTK_TYPE_INVALID)
	aborting...

and dumps core.

I haven't had time to do any further investigation...
