However, gtk+-2.4.7 seems just fine.
I don't know which version of GTK is used. But I appreciate the information and I assume Juergen is going to take this into account. I hoped for a "the trick of all tricks", but it seems like there is no such thing. I should have used another library 3 years ago ;-) But who had a windows port in their mind at that time.

Juergen has done something similar with the gerbv beta versions. All the necessary libraries are all rolled into the zip archive to be stored in one directory. Thanks, /Stefan
