Aah - but the _development_ version of GIMP works with the _development_
version of GTK+ (1.1.x)

You can have both GTK+-1.0.x and GTK+-1.1.x on the same system...

You almost never need to reinstall for these sort of problems.

If you install a development version of GTK as your only GTK,
you're going to need to use the development version of the GIMP too...
