I think two (not one) -dev .deb packages are needed: a (let's say) 
"libgtk+2.0-directfb-udeb-dev_2.0.9-2.3_i386.deb" and a (let's say) 
"libdirectfb-udeb-dev_0.9.22-7.1_i386.deb".

Those packages should allows us to compile gtk.so and make it run with 
already existing
"libgtk+2.0-directfb0-udeb_2.0.9.2-3_i386.udeb" and 
"libdirectfb-0.9-22-udeb_0.9.22-7.1_i386.udeb" udebs.

I've made such a mess of libraries on my laptop in the past months that 
i cannot even tell against what actaully gtk.so compiles and runs: 
someday i'll have to format my laptop to clean it.. :(
Anyway i'll try to rebuild my developement libs from scratch tomorrow using

-directfb 0.9.22 from 
http://www.directfb.org/downloads/Core/DirectFB-0.9.22.tar.gz

-libgtk 2.0.9 from ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v2.0/gtk+-2.0.9.tar.bz2

-gdk over dfb patch from 
http://www.directfb.org/downloads/Libs/gdk-directfb-2003-04-07.tar.gz

then i'll send everything to you

ciao and thank you very much!
