Oh come on!
A pentium 100?
That's what you're using, right? Sure? Really sure? I don't believe you.
Computers from that time are starting to pack it in. In fact, computers
from that time have probably *finished* packing it in.
If anyone has a pentium 100 ( or a 25MGz 386 for that matter ) still
around, it's *NOT* to run Gtk2, it's to run a firewall, DNS, etc, and it
will not have X at all.
Everyone else ( bar the occasional minimal-freak ) uses widget toolkits
designed to run on today's hardware.
God help you when XGL / Glitz arrive :)
