//But, now I get on any example that came with gtk:

//  [hannu@sid buttons]$ [hannu@sid entry]$ ./entry --no-xshm
//
//  ** ERROR **: sigsegv caught
//
//Instead of previous:

//  [hannu@sid buttons]$ [hannu@sid entry]$ ./entry
//
//  ** WARNING **: MIT-SHM Extension not availible on server
//
//  ** ERROR **: sigsegv caught
//
//so it seems that drawing a simple widget _requires_ MIT-SHM extension ??

Perhaps you are jumping to conclusions. 'sigsegv caught' does not mean 'Gee, I 
need MIT-SHM, but can't get it'. Perhaps if you could give a gdb backtrace of 
the crash? (Run program in gdb. When it crashes, type 'bt'. Send the output to 
the mailinglist.)
