Thanks, Henning Nielsen Lund:

I have added 'gtk-list' back into the address.

Slackware9.1 'everything' installed from packages
a, ap, d, n, f, g, k, x, and xap.

How can I tell?

My window manager is Gnome and when I right click on
a blank place on the title bar and select 'about Gnome',
it indicates version 2.4.0, but what does this have to do
with 'gtk2' or 'gtk+' ?  What is 'Pango' ?  What is 'Glib' ?
