#  Indeed I used Gtk 0.7000 which is the first that supports images on
#  the canvas (thanks Lupus!). Note that the Gtk library has a somewhat
#  unusual installation. You first do perl Makefile.PL; make; make install
#  in the top directory and then cd to GdkImlib and Gnome respectively
#  and redo the installation. This is described in the INSTALL file.

                                                      Oops!  

    My first try at 0.7000 was through the CPAN package, which by
default seems not to install GdkImlib or Gnome. Then, I did not check
the INSTALL doc in the tarball. 

  Thanks for the tips, I should try again pretty soon.
