To compile latest GTK+ from CVS using the DFB backend, you'll need DFB 
from CVS (currently 0.9.26), as GetPosition and other functions were 
introduced in DFB after DFB 0.9.25 was released.
To build GTKDFB, please follow the detailed instructions reported in the 
GTKDFB howto page [1] i updated yesterday.
