	The problem is that the very latest version of the tutorial does
_NOT_ work with GTK+ version 1.0.

	On my Redhat 5.2 system, I got similar errors.  Almost none of the
examples would compile, but a few of them would.

	To fix the problem, I needed to download the file
titled gtk_tutorial.981208.tar.gz  instead of whatever the most recent one
is.  Then, all of the examples compile fine.

	It would certainly be nice if this were documented somewhere!
Furthermore, the version that is posted on the website is even older than
the gtk_tutorial.981208.tar.gz version (even though both of those version
work with GTK+ version 1.0).
