OK, we have a pretty serious problem here. As some of you know, it began with kde, where it was discovered that compiling kde with libpng3 led to runtime problems apparently caused by imlib not having been updated to libpng3. So someone updated imlib to libpng3, and now gnome users are having

My understanding from earlier discussions is that if you have imlib installed and build a package which uses imlib-config, then -lpng is inserted into your link line. Since libpng and libpng3 both use libpng.dylib, the thing the resulting binary is linked to depends on which version of libpng was
