this is the message you get when an object has been created by a C  
library but the bindings have no mapping for that object's official  
class name.  this happens quite commonly for things like GtkStyles and  
GdkGCs, which have private implementations under the hood; before we  
told the bindings not to warn about subclasses of GtkStyle or GdkGC,  
you'd get harmless but annoying warnings that the types BlueCurveStyle  
and GdkX11GC were not registered with the bindings.

this can also happen when you're running the bindings against a newer  
version of gtk+ than the one against which they were compiled, and the  
newer C library has new objects in it.  for example, a Glade file run  
with gtk+ 2.4.x may generate new-style toolbars that bindings built  
against gtk+ 2.2.x don't know.

where did you get the rpms, and, if you got them from gtk2-perl.sf.net,  
did you happen to get the ones marked rh8?

Red Hat 8.0 included perl 5.8.0; all later RH and Fedora releases have  
included later perls, so the bindings would not have been built to go  
into a directory name 5.8.0.

this also makes sense because RH8 included gtk+ 2.0.6, which does not  
support the action-based menus and toolbars, so the bindings wouldn't  
have support for them, even though the underlying gtk+ 2.4.x found at  
runtime does.


and, for the "appears twice", are you sure one of them isn't  
perl-Glib-1.071-1?


ross, does your RPM builder have a sandbox for Fedora Core 3?
