I'm not sure what this is referring to, and it sounds scary.

Are you talking about an ABI break? Have I done something bad?

Eek. I guess I need to investigate. There's a special patch that maybe
got into cvs or the tarball that never should have.

If this did get into the tarball, you (as a distro packager) should be
telling me and _not_ just packaging it. If you have, please revert
immediately. You know that gtkmm is _meant_ to be ABI stable.
