Do complain to Red Hat for not distribution gtkmm and/or that setup thing.
You are paying them.

You need to remove the default argument values (such as "= true") from the
.cc files. They should only be in the .h files.

Hopefully these changes are in gtkmm 1.2 in cvs. I would make a new
release if I could build it from cvs with recent autotools.

If anyone wants to try to build gtkmm 1.2 from cvs and/or distcheck it,
that would be nice.
