I only noticed that after sending my message. Certain Gnome libraries do
depend dlrectly upon imlib1-dev, so this is unfortunately a legitimate
and required dependency. However, you don't need libpng3-dev to build
any Gnome 2 stuff at the moment, so it's not a big problem unless you
have other things that need libpng3-dev. This should cease to be a
problem when Gtk2/Gnome2 ports come out.
