gmodule.la v/s libgmodule.la

Hi,

Please post any replies to my email address too.

I downloaded GLIB 1.2.0 and GTK 1.2.0. After compiling and installing
GLIB I came across a weird problem. GLIB had made a library called
libgmodule.la. While GTK was linking it wanted gmodule.la and aborted
with the error that it could not be found. I changed the name gmodule.la

to libgmodule.la in the GTK configure script and everything compiled and

installed fine. Isn't this a bug ? If it is, where can I send a bug
report ?

On a related note, if  I  run any gtk applications with menus on them, I

am able to change
accelerators on the fly for the menu. For example, Alt-F causes the
"File" menu to pop up. Now if I use the arrow key to go to the "Open"
sub-menu, the accelerator is Control-O. If I type Control-X the
accelerator changes to "Crtl-X" !! Is that a bug or a feature ? If it is

a feature, why should it be ?

I am using GTK/GLIB 1.2.0 on a Debian 2.0 system.

Thanks in advance.
