This thread is being appended via email to debian bug 199102:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=199102

which I don't think has anything to do with it. That gcc 3.3 bug seems to be
finally fixed but I don't know when a release is planned:
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10849

Overall debian gtkmm information is here:
