Okay. I've submitted at: http://code.google.com/p/gears/issues/detail?id=772

I hope it's helpful! I'm noticing some more build errors related to
linking with gdk as well. I hope to have another patch dealing with
that at some point too.

For reference here are the errors I'm encountering:
../third_party/gtk/linux/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so: undefined reference to
`gdk_screen_get_font_options_libgtk_only'
../third_party/gtk/linux/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so: undefined reference to
`gdk_screen_set_resolution_libgtk_only'
../third_party/gtk/linux/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so: undefined reference to

Alas. :) I'm curious about what bits of Gears on Linux are currently
unimplemented with NPAPI. Obviously it would be useful for some
of the WebKit browsers which run on Linux (like Midori, etc). Would
getting an incomplete NPAPI version of Gears/Linux compiling be
the first step toward this?

Thanks again,
Martin
