Yep, you'll need gtk1.2.3 - 1.2.6

in gtk1.2.7 they changed the prototype of gdk_gc_set_dashes in a way that
breaks C++ compilation.  It was accidental (the incompatibility, not the
change) but a lot of people got burned by it.

Later versions of wxWin check the gtk version and deal with it correctly,
the version currently in potato does not.  Reuploading it with a versioned
depends doesn't really help if that version of gtk is no longer available.

I hope to have 2.2 in woody RSN though.

best,
