indeed, the code for gtk_init&gtk_init_check in the bindings hasn't changed
since goran imported the last snapshot to sourceforge four months ago!
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/gtk2-perl/gtk2-perl-xs/Gtk2/xs/Gtk2.xs?annotate=1.9


let's do a sanity check:

- do you have only one version of gtk+-2.x installed on your system, and if
not, are you certain that the correct one is being used for build and link?
- are you certain that the correct versions of libgtk/libgdk/libglib/etc are
being found at runtime?
- did 'make test' pass?
- did you do the tests with the two versions in the same environment?  i.e.,
are you sure you had a connection to the X server in all testing environments?
- are you using Gtk2->init_add or quit_add?  if so, does the problem go away
when you take it out?
- are you passing any commandline arguments?  i.e. does @ARGV have anything in
it?
- does it still fail when you hack up the bindings for Gtk2->init and pass a
dummy argc&argv, like this:
     {
        int argc = 1;
        char * argv[] = { 'foo', NULL };
        gtk_init (&argc, &argv);
     }

failing all of those, would you please send a copy of your script to me or
ross offlist?
