If you haven't found out the hard way already, it's worth mentioning
that gdkxft can cause segfaults in other non-GTK+ processes due to
using LD_PRELOAD.  It's best to avoid if at all possible.

Given that GTK+ 1.x is unmaintained and obsolete, and in many cases
won't even work properly on a modern system (UTF-8 locales), it's not
a good choice.  If you are dependent on a particular application, it's
usually a simple search and replace job to get it building with
GTK+2.x, unless it's using a lot of voodoo.


Regards,
Roger
