i'm going to file tomorrow bugs and patches to gnome BTS, so that 2.9.0 
can be soon made compile correctly with the DFB backend activated.

The above library requirements apply to both GTK 2.9.0 and 2006-03-26

More recent GTK CVS snapshots require glib 2.11, pango 1.11 ( and DFB 
0.9.25 i think).
