Eric,
   Thanks.  I was able to get it to compile by patching the Makefile to not
build the applet which the authors say is deprecated. Now when I run the
program I get the following error:

----------------------
You have reached this dialog because we detected you do not have a proper
configuration key installed for GnomeICU. The possible cause is that you
forgot to install the configuration keys from gnomeicu.schemas. Please
contact your package maintainer about that, or you can contact us directly
at gnomeicu-support AT lists.sourceforge.net

The configuration key in question is: /apps/gnomeicu/general/themes/icons

The program will now close..

--------------------

Getting closer to fixing this.

George

I don't see it as breaking anything other than allowing old applications to
use
deprecated GTK+ calls, which may or may not exist in the future. It sounds
like
this patch will just extend the life of gnomeicu (and any other apps that
could
benefit from it) until their functions are removed. Is gnomeicu still being
developed (so that they'll convert to non-deprecated GTK+ calls) or will it
break again (if we include this fix) once the deprecated APIs are removed?

If the former then I say we try the fix in devel (and possibly test if it's
okay
with Robin) and make sure it doesn't break anything, but if it's the latter
I
say we just remove gnomeicu (or possibly modify it to have a copy the fixed
libgnomeui.h and put that first in the includes?).
