1. copied the unison-2.13-x11 binary to my 10.3.9 machine and verified that
it runs OK (including the first gui pane).
2. synced the two archives I tried earlier in this thread, running the
unison-2.13-x11 gui on the 10.4.2 machine: both worked without any hitches,
so for me the glib2 error is gone in this version on 10.4.2.
Don't know how you get unison-2.13 if you don't have Tiger though...
The latter point is THE problem... I don't have yet a Tiger machine...
Here is the way I did solve the problem recently...
I fetched and compiled unison 2.17.1 on my 10.3.9 with a 'make UISTYLE=mac'.
(Actually, the newest versions of unison include an aqua interface as a
replacement of the gtk interface. )
You then have a Unison.app application and, if you launch it, a menu proposes
you to install it as a binary in /usr/bin (Menu Unison->Install command-line
tool).
Though it is not 100% stable, this beta version works fine with its simple
aqua interface.
(I have not tried yet if it also work on 10.2 but I will be faced to the
problem soon since I also have some 10.2 machines. I started but it requires
to get and compile a recent version of ocaml and I'm working on it. )
So, here is a suggestion to the maintainer of the unison package which has
already two instances:
why not propose a unison-aqua package since it solves a lot of problems for
int'l mac users or is fink community X11-dependant?
Thanks anyway a lot for your answers. I'll try to apply your suggestion soon,
since I prefer to have all my open source binaries in the fink tree.

Bruno,
FYI (since you don't have Tiger), on Tiger, fink describe
unison includes:
-----
This package includes multiple versions of Unison: 2.9.1,
2.10.2 and 2.13.16.
The Aqua interface is only available for 2.13.16.
.
Note: All variants can be installed simultaneously. This
package uses the
update-alternatives system so that the command 'unison'
automatically uses
the best-available UI for the highest-available version.
Other versions
can be run using 'unison-[version]' or
'unison-[version]-[uitype]. Type
'ls /sw/bin/unison*' and 'man update-alternatives' for more
information.

So the Aqua interface is there for 2.13 from fink: it does
seem like adding this version to 10.3 will solve your
problems (for 10.3, 10.2 is a different question...): lets
see if someone with more fink package knowledge can help...
