David,

Are you running on x86?  I had a subtle problem with gtkentry after 
switching to gcc3 from 2.9x, but it was on a Sun box.

I used "-m32 -mno-app-regs" to compile the libraries, and the problem 
went away.  The "-m32" causes 32bit code to be generated rather than 64bit.

More concerning was the -mno-app-regs, which the gcc documentation said 
was required for "maximum compatibility with binary interfaces", and 
should be used for system libraries, etc.

I have not figured out which of these made the difference, but plan to 
if the problem seems to have gotten better for good.  You might look 
through the x86 gcc documentation for some similar item of concern.
