Gtk-- works with gtk 1.1 if it's compiled that way, but the Debian package
apparently isn't.
You can maybe install the Debian Gtk 1.1 package and then compile Gtk--
yourself. Compiling yourself is handy with Gtk and friends anyway, because
the docs often need to be supplemented by the source code.
However, I doubt the Gtk-- 1.1 support will just happen to be in sync with
the particular 1.1 Debian has packaged. Remember that 1.1 is the
ever-changing-interface development branch.
So if you want to go the compilation route I'd suggest you purge all the
Gtk 1.1 packages (and 1.0 -dev packages) and start from scratch with glib
out of Gnome CVS. See www.gnome.org. You want the glib, gtk+, gtk--
modules.
