Why do it this way?  We should be using xml-config to check for xml not
gnome-libs --libs xml.  Whats the rationale?  It's a lot safer than using
gnome-libs especially if you run into problems like this where outwardly
the compile is fine but there is something wrong somewhere.  I guess if I
knew the whoel autoconf thing a little better I probably would have caught
it.

I fixed my problem by removing $GNOME_LIBS and changing it to xml-config
--libs.  That seems to have fixed the problem.

For me it was removing GNOME 1.0 from Mandrake 7.0.  Once I got rid of
everything I started fresh.  It took me a while to get it working.
