my other question would be if the old stuff is still laying around on
the system. by old stuff i either mean older versions of gtk2-perl-xs or
gtk2-perl. there are no GType.pm, Widget.pm, Container.pm modules in
gtk2-perl-xs, i guess there must be in gtk2-perl why it would be looking
for it at that point i don't know. the two won't co-exist with out
taking special care.

we really need to put something in the README/INSTALL files about going
from the inline version to the new stuff. we also need to mention the
issues, whatever they may be, about installing it on mandrake systems.
i'd put it all in myself, but i don't know the exact issues and what to
say about them.

it sure looks my first idea is the problem, but if not do you have the
latest Glib package?
