I think I need to ask my question differently to get some response. How can I remove the gtk installations (plus dependencies) and start again? I've reinstalled, but I'm still getting problems. My system is crippled and It's my fault. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I'm not interested in rebuilding my box, though that isn't out of the question. Thanks P.S. did I mention I'm a dork? _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
