i thought mandrake included gtk2-perl in its default configuration; 
they use it for their setup tools.  you should be able to find all the 
rpms you need in the cooker.

i'm not sure why you installed gtk+ from source; mandrake ships with 
gtk+, all you needed to install was the -devel packages (to get the 
headers and pkg-config files).  were you trying to get a newer version 
or something?

it looks to me like your base system has chosen a theme that your 
custom-installed version of gtk+ cannot find, and your config files are 
telling the custom version to use it.  then when it tries to go do 
actual drawing (the theme engine's responsibility), it doesn't work.

can you get your custom gtk+'s gtk-demo to work?  are you sure the 
problem is with the bindings?
