Q: Unstable Gimp 1.2 work Potato & GTK upgrade?

[Jonathan Gift <jgift@wanadoo.fr>]

Hi,

The quest to build Gimp 1.2 on a potato system is getting pretty
involved with an assorted half-dozen packages to build before attempting
it. I know Gimp 1.2 needs libgtk 1.2.8 and 1.2.7 comes with potato. If
I upgrade the libgtk, would the unstable/sid binary work or it depends
on newer libraries for other items as well?

Thanks.

Jonathan
