For some libraries... such as gtk.... yup looks like it.

The "good" news is, we can probably just keep the legacy gtk libraries
for those purposes.
the matching bad news is, that still means, "no 3d hardware accel, for
newer-fancier-gtk programs".

Because as we previously found out.. some things just wont work with
Sun X11, period.
Even "newer" versions.
All because of *#@$@ gtk "improvements".

I dont remmeber the exact reasons, though; William's the expert on
that. Maybe there's
some kind of hack possible, but I'm scheptical about it.
