Simply change 'equal_pos + 1' to 'option'
(See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51973)

But someone tell me, why is everbody compiling 
GTK+ --with-xinput=gxi? ;-(

I really don't expect --with-xinput=gxi to work. I've never had a
succesful report of anybody using GTK+ XInput support on anything but
XFree; the gxid daemon was developed on XFree before the extensions
used by --with-xinput=xfree were added. I don't think I've tested it
in at least 2 years.

There will be a 1.2.10 out soon with this and some other minor fixes,
and I think also a doc / configure change to tell people that
--with-xinput=gxi is use-at-your-own risk stuff.
