	By luck, the gimp seems to work correctly. I don't know why...
	It is unafected by the setlocale() problem on my box, and 
	everything works well...

	By the way... May be the gtk example collection does not evolve
	as fast as gtk. So, some of them may be legally broken (ie
	using a gtk-1.0.6 interface instead of the normal 1.2.2 interface).
	I don't think this should be real (I don't think that such a thing
	is possible in fact), but...

	Any clues about this ?

->Lucky you !
	Not so lucky, in fact :)

	I made them unavailable for the moment (since I do some
	fairly strange experiments now. I will regenerate'em in a few
	days). Sorry for those who tried to get them.

->Yes, sure.

->libgtk.1.6.so is version 1.0.6 and libgtk.1.2.so is really version
->1.2.2.
	It's real that the fbsd ld.so naming conventions can lead to
	that kind of problems. I think the gtk folks may look at this
	more carefully to handle this particular problem (not sure,
	but the naming convention should have been explained in the 
	freebsd-hackers mailing list some time ago - and may be 
	in the freebsd handbook).

	Such port/package should be very interesting.
