 No objection - the PR was only on libgtkhtml and that's fixed.
 
 I didn't investigate the others at all really, certainly not enough
 to have an real idea what was happening - just impressions.  I only
 mentioned them because I was asked where else I'd seen the same
 kind of thing as in libgtkhtml.  eog just happened to be one where
 the nature of the error I saw looked much more like the libgtkhtml
 one (as compared to the others where it was fairly clear that gail
 was being demanded by something else that was being included.)
 
 Last time I tried building eog it wasn't even getting this far, some
 dependency it needed wasn't building (this is at least several days
 ago now, perhaps a week) so I don't know what state it's in (nor what
 would happen if I fed it an older gtk2+ library instead of the
 current one.)
