it is likely that you have an older version of Gtk2 installed and in
PERL5LIB that is being picked up. we haven't been able to figure out why
it happens. those two tests are different in that they use a perl module
other than Gtk2. if this doesn't seem to be what is happening let us
know. if everything else is passing it should be safe to go ahead and
install.
