Okay. I'll try to put a bit pressure in this, need to do some Gtk-- related
work anyway.
Good news, I have CVS writing access soon, so i can upload my debian files,
and Gtk-- will be build from CVS automatically regularly (but maybe only
inofficially).

"more reliable" --- hope so :) The release schedules of gtk+, gnome and gtk--
are all different, so it's hard to get them work together properly. I can't
foresee how it works, but we'll find a solution however.
One tip: Get latest CVS sources of all related packages, gtk+, gnome, glib
and gtk--. This will probably give you best chance that everything will
work. But if you have success with Debian source packages, by all means, let
me know!
Please stay in close contact to me about your experiences, etc.
Thank you,
Marcus
