We certainly get enough questions where people break their systems doing it themselves when the vendor already ships a sane version (most Linux distros?) or there's a well-known 3rd party site (like sun freeware)... Johnathan: I'm not sure exactly what it will take to fix your system (mostly because I don't know how you configured the paths on your 2.4.9 install), but re-installing the Fedora versions might help. You'll need disks 1 and 3 of the install disks (or the single DVD or a network install server). Get gtk2-2.6.7-4.i386.rpm from disk 1, and gtk2-devel-2.6.7-4.i386.rpm from disk 3. Copy them both into a directory someplace, then: rpm -Uvh --force gtk2-*.rpm to re-install both on your system, and then re-run up2date or yum to get any fixes since then. This is only a *partial* fix - you'll need somebody to figure out what files the 2.4.9 install put on that weren't replaced by the RPM, and which you'll have to track down and clean up by hand...
