Those both say 1.100.  (Load the ppd in your web browser as text, it lists the
filename of the archive, which has the version number in it.)

glib / gtk+ introduced GInitiallyUnowned to the hierarchy of GtkObject in gtk+
2.8, which broke the perl bindings.  We fixed that with Glib/Gtk2 1.120.

Looks like we need new win32 binaries.  Anyone?



Until you can get an upgrade, a workaround is to add something like this to
your Gtk2.pm:

   push @Gtk2::Object::ISA, 'Glib::Object';
