just wanted to let you know the status of things after I run my tests:

I managed to recompile all the libs:

DirectFB
cairo-1.0.2
gtk+2.8.3
libic
libpixregion
pango
slim

using the latest CVS snapshots.
cairo was patched using a patch submitted by Mike to the cairo ML, gtk+ was
patched using the gdk-directfb in CVS and finally building went fine 
(apparently new
binutils caused breakages when rebuilding cairo).
If I run gtk-demo on my machine (2.6.8 kernel) it works, but if I run it on an 
environment
such as the one used by the debian installer, which now switched to 2.6.14, I 
get the blue
background, the mouse cursor (which I can move) but the applications do not 
start up.

If I substitute the runtime libs with those precompiled a few days ago
by Attilio
(https://debian.polito.it/downloads/d-i_2-8-3_2005-11-16_dfb.tgz) everything 
works, also with
2.6.14 kernel)

Hope we can get things working again soon.

thanx
Davide
