 I think I put it in a comment in the xls, but I'm *surprised*
yours uses webkit - mine opens aurora (i.e. firefox).  Anyway, it
tests for webkit-1.0.pc - in my experience that comes from old (<1.6)
versions of webkit-gtk built with gtk+-2.  But I think you told me
1.6 could be built with gtk+-2 so perhaps it installs a different
version of hte pkgconfig file in that case ?

 My build of 1.6.1 with gtk+-3 installed webkit-3.0.pc.

 I build the gimp long before I touch the gnome applications, but
even after webkit-gtk has been installed, the log from the gimp's
configure shows -

checking for X11/xpm.h... yes
checking for WEBKIT... no
checking for SVG... yes

 PS - since I'm talking about the gimp now - PyGTK appears to be
broken, probably by glib-2.30.  pygobject-2.28.6 crapped out with

pygi-info.c: In function '_pygi_info_new':
pygi-info.c:165:14: error: 'GI_INFO_TYPE_ERROR_DOMAIN' undeclared
(first use in this function)

pygobject-3.0.2 is fine, but it installs pygobject-3.0.pc -
pygtk-2.24.0 is looking for pygobject-2.0.pc.  3.0.2 is in Wayne's
gnome3 packages, I assume it gets used by something.

 At the time pygtk failed on me, I couldn't get to fedora gitweb to
see what they do.  I checked PLD, but they don't install pygtk (nor
do they make check - there is much to be said for that attitude ;-).
I've since proved that I don't need pygtk for what I do in gnumeric,
so it doesn't bother me but I did get reminded by the (my?)
explanation on the --disable-python switch.
