Davide, i think a more appropriate topic for this would be "How to build 
a GTK 2.8 set of libraries".
I plan to addd infos on the fact that ATM we're stuck with GTK 2.0 while 
we wait for GTK 2.8 to become available/stable.
People may not know what's the BIG difference between GTK 2.0 and 2.8 
and hence not unerstand what's the problem in building a gtk.so.
I plan to add general notes on the gtk frontend and on the status of the 
GTK libs with DFB backend.
Anyway your document is very detailed and useful.

ciao
