I assume you've checked for old include files in /usr/local/include
as well.

Well, first run testgtk with the --show-events option. See if
the keystroke events produced look correct.

If so, recompile GTK with --enable-debug --disable-shared. (See
if --disable-shared makes a difference, still on the off-chance
it is something with old libraries)

Fire up GDB on testgtk. Set a break on gtk_entry_draw_text.
(Question, does the initial text appear in the entry for the
entry test?).

(Should be 1)

continue (c), enter a character, see if gtk_entry_draw_text is
called again. Is entry->visible still correct? Step through
the code - does it look like it should be drawing things?

I really doubt that's the problem. We'd have certainly heard
about it by now if entries generically don't work under
gtk+-971201.
